Narrator only reads the first sentence

In the reader mode, when I click the "Narrate" and play, only first sentence will be read. The wave is moving, a speaker shows on tab, but no more voice came out. It looks like a crash but happens all the time. When I refresh and entered reader mode again, the "narrate" wouldn't respond any more.

Also, I tried chirpy and got same problem. Is there some setting wrong on my browser?

I think it is important to note here some of the testing. Right now I have observed that there are two different operating systems that are being tested. However, on Beta, Mac OSX 10.13.1 I was not able to reproduce. I tested it without headphones and the page reads the whole article for this link: https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar.../building-sails-for-interstellar-probes-will-be-tough-but-not-impossible/ Can you take a look at seeing if this version of Firefox has the same issue: here

Hi ElecDog, It could be the specific website. Can you provide two websites where this is happening?

I have seen this happen when the website has not been optimized for Reader Mode in Firefox.

Looking forward to your reply, Rachel

Hi guigs,

I tried Scientific American's website, here is an example: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/building-sails-for-interstellar-probes-will-be-tough-but-not-impossible/

Here is another example from STAT news: https://www.statnews.com/2018/03/20/trauma-ptsd-doctors-burnout/

Hope this helps identifying the problem, thank you!

Found it and now using it in FF60 and having now issues with it reading. But found that is uses the Windows Voice to do the reading. So what Voice are you using to read when it starts?
