The Mozilla Firefox 118 web browser is now available for download ahead of its official release on September 26th, when it will be rolling out to various of the supported platforms.

I consider Firefox 118 a major release because it finally brings the built-in translation feature for websites. Previously planned for Firefox 117, the new translation feature will let you automatically translate websites from one of the supported languages to another.

The translation feature can be accessed from a new “Translate page” menu entry in the application menu (the hamburger menu on the far right side of the window). When clicked, a pop-up dialog will open in place to let you choose the languages you want to translate from and to.

    Who needs profiles? If more than one user uses your computer, use separate logins and Firefox will have different profiles for each login.

        Sounds like you need 3 system logins to keep everything straight. Problem solved.

            Different websites with different users? That’s… um… you know… the way the internet works. Did you mean the same website with different users? Because there is a logout button on websites, you know. And FF saves logins to make it easy to switch.

            I think you’re just trying to create a situation where you think you need something when you really don’t. Simplify.

            It’s not exactly the best UX I have seen in my life, but you can enter firefox -P in a terminal or you can open the about:profiles page to start a window with another profile.
