I use ctrl + alt + x to translate pages, this chatbot uses the same shortcut so translate addon can't

Alas, Firefox doesn't allow changing any keybindings without modifying the source code. The bugzilla ticket about this is already 2 decades old.

One potential workaround, if you're okay with using extra software, is making a script with AutoHotKey to intercept Ctrl+Alt+X and fire a different key combo in its stead.

This doesn't fix the issue with the Firefox but, you know, it's something.

Stupid question but can't you just change your translate shortcut?

I can but this shortcut is very convenient

Firefox is very customizable so I thought I can edit some settings in about:config to fix this

AFAIK you can’t

Fucking garbage!! At least give us a kill switch ya hacks!

Have you tried setting browser.ml.chat.enabled to false in about:config? That immediately removes the chatbot from my sidebar.
