This is a game changer for me. I always loved Firefox and tried to use it exclusively, but living in a foreign country is hard when you're learning the language, and I had to switch to chrome sometimes due to the lack of translation in Firefox. Now I can finally remove Chrome!

This is odd to me, there have always been translation extensions for Firefox, why swap to Chrome instead of just using one of the many translation options?

I could never find any that worked well, and the translations in chrome were too good.

Look for the TWP extension. It's a fucking godsend, and it's way faster than FF's built in translator.

Sadly it uses Google on the backend, so it's less privacy friendly.

There are so many translator plugins for Firefox.

I've been living in a foreign country for 8 years and Firefox has been a godsend.
