    Automated translation of web content is now available to Firefox users! Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally in Firefox, so that the text being translated does not leave your machine.

    I haven’t got the update yet. Can it translate the selected text or is it only for the whole page?

    Has this been achieved by integrating the translation add on funded by the EU and some British universities?

    If so then good to see taxes being well spent for a change!

    I thought I could uninstall the addon now that the translation is integrated. Is not so? I don’t know how to make the translation happen now.

      I see now a translate button in the sandwitch menu. But I find weird that after the address bar icon appears I see an option to ask for translation always, but I don’t know what it means by always since I couldn’t make it appear on its own.

    I hope someone here has a suggestion/solution.

    I’ve been having this issue with DuckDuckGo and Firefox, for the past few days now, where if I search using the search bar, it shows an error which says “the page isn’t redirecting properly.” This happens only when using this search engine. For every other search engine, e.g. Google, Bing, etc there are no issues.

    I’ve tried clearing cache, temporarily disabled all cookies, but still no luck.

    Any suggestion /solution please?

      Have you tried using the DDG search URL manually? I mean as in the exact URL it calls when you use the search engine?
