When using reader view in firefox, the text to speech feature will fail, because it can't access espeak-ng and its data files.
Firefox on linux uses speech-dispatcher for text to speech.
speech-dispatcher may use espeak-ng (I think it has other backends).
So firefox needs to be able to access the espeak-ng binary and its data files.
Run firefox under firejail.
Find an article with lots of text, use the reader view button.
In reader view press the headphones buttons and then the play buttons.
Firefox should use espeak-ng to play a reading of the text.
Actual behavior
Speech dispatcher will play an error message about not being able to find any modules.
Something along the lines of "Its seems like your speech dispatcher is working but none of its sound modules are"
Additional context
I tried to play around with the profile config files.
I was able to make the text to speech work, but it broke other stuff, so this solution is not PR worthy.
