I really want something that just translates kanji/kana to romaji. There was an extension in Chrome that did that and it’s the only thing I miss after switching to FF.

kanji/kana to romaji

Wow, I never knew that they had a Japanese to Romaji extension. Would furigana extensions work? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/furiganaize/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

Yeah, furiganaize has an option to display as romaji. https://files.catbox.moe/ocjic8.png

Unfortunately it only works on Kanji (which is probably the hardest part, I guess if there's no alternative for kana there isn't enough demand?), but thanks!
