Because it would make browsing a lot easier when reading pages that are not written in your mother language. Reproducible: Always
Dictionary Tooltip extension does this (on double click it shows a translation of the word) but there will be more extensions.

This is a job for an extension (which already exists), not as a built-in part of the browser. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1171/
