Android: no translation feature

Hi! I like the app, but there is one thing that really annoys me: there is no 'translate' item in context menu (the one that sends selected text into Google translate app). It is available in literally *every* app on my phone that supports text selection, other browsers support it, but Firefox doesn't. This is very disappointing. I believe 'translate' to be a part of the system menu. Why would it be disabled? Please help me to enable it. Thanks.

That would be very convenient. Instead, I discovered this three step method:

  • Select text
  • Tap SHARE
  • Tap the icon for Google Translate
