Sorry, Beto, I thought I had replied-to-all.  

 
   Gary,
   it would help if you said what are you doing , and what isn't happening, 
   so someone can say what are you doing, if anything, wrong.
   
   Just to try to make it a useful reply, you do have java support working 
   on your ffox, right? 
   
  Yes, I installed the required java suite; 
 
 and it is shown in about:plugins ? 
 
 for example, mine shows :
 
 about:plugins 
 
 Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_03-p4-b00
 
 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
 Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_03
 [table follows showing all supported types ]
 
Yes, the File name is exactly what I had installed.  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.  Here and on my 7.0 FreeBSD server.

  then then I moused a few paragraphs and hit the Speech area, nada.
