The Text Link & Google Translate extension enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to open non-linked URLs simply by double-clicking them. No more copying and pasting! You can also open URLs from the context menu after selecting them. Additionally, the extension integrates Google Translate directly into your toolbar, enabling quick page translations. Special features include fixing the source language when translating certain sites like addons.mozilla.org, and translating selected text via the context menu, seamlessly replacing or appending translations in input fields. While some pages restrict script execution—limiting double-click functionality—this extension remains a powerful tool for efficient browsing and multilingual support.

User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's user-friendly interface, stable performance, and efficient translation features including inline translation and link recognition in non-standard pages. It is valued for its simplicity, safety, and multi-language usability. However, some issues are commonly noted: loss of link functionality after translation, limited URL recognition especially with non-ASCII characters, combined functionality lacking modularity, and occasional translation performance delays on slower machines.

Pros

Very user-friendly and stable in operation.
Convenient one-click option to translate entire web pages.
Can translate selected text inline while preserving original text access via popup.
Effectively recognizes text links even in non-standard web pages.
Considered clean, safe, and lightweight without unnecessary scripts.

Cons

Translated text with links loses original link functionality.
Only recognizes URLs starting with protocols like 'www', failing with URLs containing non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., Japanese URLs).
Does not separate Text Link and Google Translate into different add-ons, limiting customization for users.
Translation speed can be slow on low-performance computers, and cancelling mid-translation can cause input issues.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Text Link & Google Translate requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Text Link & Google Translate has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
