The short answer

Can Firefox read webpages aloud?

Yes. A Firefox text-to-speech add-on can turn the words on a webpage into spoken audio. With ArticleAudio installed, you can listen to a full page where supported or highlight a specific passage and hear only that selection.

That makes read-aloud useful for long articles, research, newsletters, and other text-heavy pages. ArticleAudio works inside Firefox, so you can keep the original page open instead of copying its text into a separate reader.

ArticleAudio is a text-to-speech listening tool. It does not replace a full screen reader or Firefox accessibility features that provide navigation and interface context.

Features

Full-page listening

Listen to the whole page

Open the ArticleAudio popup on a long article, essay, or research page and start listening without selecting every paragraph by hand.

Prefer a smaller chunk? Select a passage when you only want one section. Full-page playback and selected-text playback work together.
