Firefox 2.0 still has accessibility problems. I know it is in Ubuntu Edgy. It should be available in other Linux distros. You can improve access to it if you install the Firevox plugin. This makes Firefox self voicing. It can use Orca as it's speech output, so you can use what ever synth you use with Orca. Gaime is a part of the Gnome desktop. I believe there are issues with some versions using Orca, but I haven't had problems using the default version included in Ubuntu Edgy.
