What do I need to do to get pronunciation via Firefox? I could not download Apple's Quick Time; I don't want any Apple products..

I have FF, Win 7 Ultra, 32-bit, HP a465c. I bookmarked a pronouncing dictionary that won't pronounce! Yikes! When I try to get an unusual word pronounced, I am prompted to download Apple's plug-in. I have no Apple products and don't want any. When I try to download Quick Time, it always fails. Then I'm prompted to manually install it. I don't know how to do this. What does FF have that will pronounce desired words readily? Methinks that that would be a commonplace, built-in FF feature.

Danke.

Are that MP3 files or other media files that are used to pronounce those words?

Can you post a link to a page with such a play button?

I was using Merriam-Webster's Pronouncing Unabridged Dictionary, which has a built-in pronouncing function. I just tried it now, only to find that I NOW would have to PAY to gain full access to the site! I can't afford that, so I shall remove the dictionary forthwith.

That said, does FF have a built-in pronouncing function, with or without definition? If not, how do I get this on my computer?

Danke.
