Article: [oats-sig] outfox: firefox web page access to speech and other services

Gary Bishop recently announced Outfox, a Firefox  add on that lets web
pages break out of the sandbox and use platform services like speech
and sounds. It's aimed at helping firefox become a platform for
accessibility, something we've discussed before here.

Peter Parente's has used it with Greasemonkey to announce Gmail mail arrivals

Nice one Gary!
