Summary
Language Switcher is an add-on that let you easily change your browser's language from toolbar popup.
Simply open the popup UI and select your desired language from the drop-down list. Please note that all changes are auto-saved to the memory. After changing the language, please reload the page to see the updated HTML. There is also a reload button in the popup in order to reload the active tab. Right next to the reload button, there is the reset button to revert languages changes to factory settings.
