I just installed firevox successfully and it now works with Apple voices and 
also infovox voices.

It isn't nearly as difficult as it used to be in that there are no longer 
permissions to change or a .jar file to download and install or any commands to 
be run from terminal.

a few warnings:
1. Make sure when you download that you end up with a .xpi extention file. You 
can't download it by using the context menu as I believe we sometimes did 
before; if in doubt, turn off the "open safe files" in safari prefs and you may 
get a .zip file which when opened will definitely show a .xpi file. 

2. When downloading the xpi file, don't go down further on the web page and get 
the one that's for the freetts interface; you don't need it.

3. When opening the .xpi file in firefox, to avoid busy signals in the open 
dialog you may want to make sure you use list mode rather than browser mode.

4. I still can't definitely tell you how to do the part in firefox where you 
install the file; you have no voiceover help there and there is an "install 
now" button to hit.; I hit enter but couldn't tell if this worked. I ended up 
opening and closing firefox a couple of times and then suddenly realized that 
Ryan (my ivox voice) was saying slash slash  and that it was speaking as the 
voice for firevox instead of the voice for voiceover. It would be nice if you 
could configure so that a different voice was used for firevox than for 
voiceover but I happened explored whether or not that's possible.

Hth.
