The old browser worked fantastic with windows speech recognition would ever since the launch of the new fire fox is extremely slow, like dial up browsers slow. If I shut off speech recognition fire fox returns to being fast but I rely on voice commands for reversing due to disability. What’s going on with a new browser and windows speech?
