Hello all.
for clarification, the newest xpi bundle is version 2.8 whereas the old
one was 2.5. If you want to upgrade, download the new xpi bundle from
http://www.firevox.clcworld.net/downloads.html
The link you want has the words "bundle pack 2.8" in it. remember that you
must use the menu (ctrl-numpad5 with mouse keys enabled) so you get an xpi
file and not a txt file. also clear out any old xpi bundles in the
directory to which you are downloading first.
then, do not try to install the xpi bundle from terminal; if you do, you
will end up in the import wizard and we can't navigate that with speech
as far as I know. Instead, open
firefox; go to files > open file. Make sure the xpi file is located in the
directory which you have the popup menu selecting. type xpi in the search
field and hit enter. this should give you only the correct xpi file in the
outline; interact with the outline to select that xpi bundle; then click
open. you may hear voiceover say 'addons" or you may hear something from
firevox since you already have it installed and are just upgrading. at
any
rate, just hit enter and the new bundle should be installed.
I suspect the reason David's had to change to freetts to get firevox to
talk was that he originally installed the firevox suite without having
installed freetts; therefore the default setting was for sapi. You
shouldn't have to do this as long as you make sure you have freetts
installed before the firevox suite (xpi bundle) itself.
