On www.humour.com when you try to use 'Translate Page' option, it will not do
anything.  In this case I had to go to Google and translate from French to
English from there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.humour.com
2.On the main page or any other page go to the Tools Menu and Select Translate Page


Actual Results:  
There was no activity at all, not even an error message

Expected Results:  
It should have translated the page from French To English through Google
language tools.

I am using the modern theme

In my case it doesn't depend on the site: it's never worked. This is the
javascript error I get:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPrefBranch.getComplexValue]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js :: Translate :: line 771"  data: no]

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
