I think this is just using SpeechDispatcher from the system – so it’s not a Firefox specific thing. I get a similar (but very slightly different) voice on my own system by default – which matches what I get when I run a command like spd-say --wait"Hello world" from the command line.
I’m pretty sure SpeechDispatcher can be configured to use a different synthesis engine – Arch’s wiki has some suggestions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Speech_dispatcher – but I haven’t dug into it yet.
Hm, ok interesting, then I could appearently use Piper (from HomeAssistant) which has a nice sounding voice, I’ll try that when I have some time: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/discussions/328
