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!

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.
