Re: mozilla speech fails.

["Thomas D. Ward" <tward1978 earthlink net>]

Ok, I have grabbed the mozilla accessibility tarball, removed the old
mozilla packages from my system, and extracted it in testers home directory,
and created a launcher for it.
when I launch the mozilla app I'm still not getting any speech with
gnopernicus. It remains silent until I close the mozilla window.
Any more thoughts?
