Natural text to speech turns a long read into audio you can take with you.
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.

Firefox TTS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Firefox have built-in text to speech?
Firefox has a built-in Read aloud control inside Reader View. It appears only on pages that support Reader View and when your operating system has a text-to-speech voice for the article’s language. A Firefox extension is useful when you want a consistent workflow for full webpages and selected passages outside Reader View.
How do I make Firefox read an entire webpage aloud?
Install ArticleAudio from Mozilla Firefox Add-ons, open a text-heavy webpage, and choose the full-page listening action. ArticleAudio extracts the readable page content and prepares it as audio, so navigation, menus, and other surrounding interface text are not treated as part of the article.
How do I make Firefox read only selected text?
Select a sentence, paragraph, or longer passage, then use ArticleAudio’s floating play button, press Shift+Tab, or open the right-click menu. Only the selected text is converted to audio, so you do not have to listen to the rest of the page.
Can Firefox read a PDF aloud with ArticleAudio?
ArticleAudio can read selected text from a PDF in Firefox through the right-click menu. Full-PDF playback and the Shift+Tab shortcut are not available in the browser PDF viewer, so you must select the passage you want to hear first.
Can I change the Firefox text-to-speech voice or speed?
Yes. ArticleAudio includes six AI voices and playback speeds from 0.75× to 2×. Its Firefox player also provides play, pause, seek, skip, and MP3 download controls after the audio has been generated.
Is ArticleAudio a screen reader for Firefox?
No. ArticleAudio converts readable webpage text into audio, but it does not announce browser controls, form labels, page landmarks, or navigation state. People who need full interface access should use a dedicated screen reader or Firefox’s accessibility features.
Is the Firefox text-to-speech extension free?
ArticleAudio is free to try with 1,000 words of audio generation, with no credit card required. Premium removes the word limit for people who want unlimited listening.
