Hi Christos, I see what you mean. I don't know whether there are any plans to add an "Always Translate" site list. Mozilla has a product suggestion site at https://connect.mozilla.org/. I think if you have time, it would be a good idea to post this request there to get into the current feedback stream. Use the "Ideas" section of the site.

Usually exceptions work with an origin (protocol and hostname), so it might not be possible to specify a specific path. I would say, for now disable the popup and if necessary use the menu to translate.

You can set this pref to false in about:config to prevent opening the translation pop-up panel.

  • about:config => browser.translations.automaticallyPopup => false

You can enable/disable this translation feature via:

  • browser.translations.enable => true|false

Note that you do not get the translation icon for pages that are in the preferred language for displaying pages list, in this case use the "3-bar" Firefox menu button.

th idea is not the "path" but a list ot FORCE instead of "prohibit"

thought a subpath will be good too
