It may have been 1.5 rather than 1.6 that you have. At any rate, after re-initialized ff, there was this two menu-bar long (or perhaps only one, but in loud colors [IMO]) and one option was "Speech". There was nothing I could do to get any audio whatsoever. I wound up writing the author who asked if I had the right plugin, and more. The short version was that eventually I just dropped it. This time I thought I'd check with the best and brightest list. If you got firefox to echo any words, please tell me how! > > I pulled down the speech deal, > > I still don't know what is this speech deal you mention. > Somewhere in the ff headers is a list of the newest applets. I think there are/[were] two that gave speech capability. AH! Found it: The URL : https://addons.mozilla.org and type in "speech" and yes, it's "AccessiBar". That was the only one that seemed most likely. While my main desktop [tao] portupgrades, I'm on my ubuntu server. I'll see if something happens this time.
