tried it, sadly it seems to rarely actually pop up, most sites I tried just didnt do anything
For me it's popping up all the time and although I guess I understand why they did it, I absolutely hate it. I don't want translations since I speak the different languages of the sites I visit fluently. Getting popups because I speak different languages is intrusive.
i wish they had some kind of hotkey for it instead.
I'm sure there's a way to disable it, even if you have to go into
about:configYeah, I don't doubt it. Still would have preferred if it wouldn't have been turned on by default. (While recognizing I'm probably in the minority about that globally)
It's a first world problem but I seriously dislike how random everything with language(and region) settings is. Half the time they follow my system defaults (UK English and Belgian datetime notation), 25% of the time the region settings are ignored and time is displayed weird and backwards with month first and the 12 hour format(MS is really bad with that). And the rest of the time bad geolocalisation people think everyone in Belgium speaks French even when that's a minority language. So Firefox piling up on that with an unwanted request to translate languages I speak fluently is just annoying when I boot up my pc.

Before doing that I'd try defining language preferences in regular config. If they implemented it smart, they wouldn't offer languages you know.
The languages I might want to see aren't necessarily the ones I know. People who are learning languages might set that (I did for the language I'm learning, anyway).
So set whatever you want to see. Am not sure what's your point. That setting tells site which of the languages you'd like to see and if they support it, it should be used. Didn't see any sites use these apart from CMS I wrote.
Maybe I misunderstood you but my point was if it interpreted the language preferences I set in the normal config as "knowing" the languages I added and didn't offer translations, that wouldn't necessarily be what I want.
