Whoa! I just noticed in #firefox Nightly that if I right-click on some text, I can choose to translate the selection. Neat!
This is powered by Firefox's local translation mechanism, which doesn't ever send the text being translated out over the network. The translation all happens on your machine.
That’s great, thanks. I must have tweaked something in the past, as the extension doesn’t appear in my UI. But good to know about this setting (which I’m gong to false it now). Besides there might not be a need, I really dislike that this foreign extension cannot be removed. It’s not maintained by Mozilla. Similar to apps on your phone you cannot remove, but are from other devs and such. It’s annoying. But anyway, thank you for this.
Mozilla staff stated that Pocket would continue to operate as an independent subsidiary
That’s not actually maintained by Mozilla. Its still operating on their own. I meant maintained directly by Mozilla stuff, as part of Firefox, not just the name of Mozilla slapped on it because they are the shareholders or like that. However, this is much better situation than I thought and thanks to this reference from you I am less worried now.
If you’d like it gone from the UI, you can set
extensions.pocket.enabledin about:config to false.As I understand, the Pocket code in Firefox is a glorified bookmark, so there isn’t really a need to remove it beyond that.

Mozilla bought the company behind Pocket in 2017, so the extension is actually maintained by Mozilla.
