I'm surprised how Firefox is becoming more and more unusable, without much improvement. I live in a country that is not my mother tongue, and I'm not a fluent reader/speaker yet. I need the inline site translation feature to navigate things I'm unsure about, say government sites, tax office stuff. Firefox is not usable in such a scenario (make no attempt at convincing me, I looked far and wide for a good solution. The available plugins are not a substitution, as they trigger bot and spam filters).
Mozilla have been promising Chrome-like inline translation for a decade now, without any signs of actually working on it. I kept waiting for much of that decade, but 2 years ago I switched to Chromium. I now do not recommend people to use Firefox, even though I advocate for free software in my circle of friends and acquaintances.
Maybe this will change, but I do not really expect much from Mozilla's current leadership.
- rPlayer6554 6y agoI'm in the same situation. It's not as convenient as Chrome, but if you get the Google translate function, you can right click and say "translate page". It will open up the page in Google which does inline translation. It's not as convenient as the Chrome Ui but at least it's something.

- rPlayer6554 6y agoWell I guess my brain accidentally skipped that sentence...but hey for anyone else now you know.
