Text-to-speech offers a number of benefits. First of all it offers you to sit back and relax while your PC reads long documents for you and more importantly, it comes in handy for the people with low visions.
A lot of people had been using “Speak It“, a Firefox add on that reads your text for you but unfortunately its only compatible with Firefox 2. Today I came to know through Ghacks that a user has changed the compatibility of the add-on and it now works perfectly fine with Firefox 3.
It integrates itself in the right-click context menu and can be used to read out all of the text on a website or only the selected text. It not only allows you to change the read rate and volume but its also possible to change the text to speech engine if more than one engine is installed on the computer system

Firefox bundled with Google Toolbar is still available for download.
Alex from Google’s Official Blog said “Google contributed significantly to Firefox’s popularity by promoting it on the homepage, including the browser in a software bundle and encouraging publishers to promote Firefox. Google’s official alternative to Internet Explorer is now Chrome.”
Well….Google Chrome is good and fast but i think there are still some bugs that they have to fix. Well lets see whether it can beat Firefox or not
