Revision Content

Mozilla is ending official support for the Mozilla Voice Proxy Server and its related projects on February 28, 2021. If you have installed the VoiceFill or Firefox Voice Beta extensions, an upcoming add-on update will notify you of this retirement timeline. These extensions will also uninstall themselves on February 19, 2021.

History

The Mozilla Speech Proxy Server is being decommissioned on February 28, 2021. The server helped power the Voice Fill and Firefox Voice Beta extensions, which enabled voice-based interactions with the browser, and the WebSpeech API, which allowed developers to add voice based interactions to their web content and services. These extensions are being retired as part of the server decommissioning.

Extension Uninstallation

The VoiceFill and Firefox Voice Beta extensions will uninstall themselves on February 19, 2021. However, if you prefer to uninstall them sooner, you may do so manually using one of the following options:

Uninstall on the Add-on page

Uninstall from the Firefox menu

  1. Click Tools in the Firefox menu.
  2. Click Add-ons.
  3. Find Firefox Voice Beta or VoiceFill on the Add-ons Manager.
  4. Click the icon and then select Remove.

Extension Source Code

The source code for Voice Fill and Firefox Voice Beta is freely available and distributed under the Mozilla Public License v 2.0.
