Dear Maintainer,

I was browsing this website: https://www.lenovo.com and Firefox hinted that:
“You can’t use speech synthesis because the Speech Dispatcher library is
missing.”
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/speechd-setup

So I suggest that Firefox could recommend or suggest speech-dispatcher.

Best,
Amr
