This is on the agenda for Firefox development following the release of Firefox
3, as discussed on the Mozilla accessibility mailing list. I am sure Orca
developers will support it when the necessary accessibility-related features
are integrated into Firefox.

Also, it would be useful for FireVox to support Speech Dispatcher, as it could
then be used together with Orca, without competing for control of the audio
output.

FireVox doesn't support braille at all yet.
