Been using a extension for this which unfortunately has to use Google as a backend. Happy to see Mozilla doing this and I cannot wait to have this feature fully implemented

I have been using Linguist, which is an open source extension that works very well, you can translate a specific text selection or the whole text, and it even has an offline translator (using the Bergamot project).
I just want a LibreTranslate add-on that I can point to my own server. Surprised that doesn't already exist.
Edit: Oh, it does. Just way down in the search results: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libretranslateclient/
That’s a good point. I’m a little concerned about their future finances given most of their money comes from google search being set to default.
If Mozilla ever falls, it fucking jover 
I love Firefox, don't get me wrong, it's my main browser. But it really feels uneasy that they're working hard to get us away from the privacy unfriendly company that keeps Firefox afloat. lol
