Add-ons Manager / Extensions / Text-to-Speech doesn't work
I use Natural Reader, a text-to-speech program.
It won't let me highlight the text in Firefox Add-ons, so Natural Reader can read it to me.
Some pages like snopes and enviroreporter . . . I have found that I need to disable javascript in order to make the text highlightable . . . you go into about:config . . . and double-click to disable: javascript.enabled
So, I was looking into this, and found the NoScript plugin that has javascript disabled by default, and all other scripts on a page - this looks good for added security, so I will use it . . .
But now I see this in Add-ons, where I can't highlight the text. Any idea what's going on? Thx.

Hi,
Noscript may be causing issues. You can check this previous question for more information /question/983338
See also RightToClick: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/righttoclick/
This is where, you go to Add-ons, and then go to the text that describes one of the Add-ons, like NoScript, for example . . . the NoScript icon is not even present in this view, to allow the page . . . Also, I noticed this before I had NoScript installed.

RightToClick . . . I don't see this in my Add-ons bar, or when I right click a page
. . . the description for an Add-on is still unhighlightable . . . even if I right-click it with this Add-on . . . should I be able to highlight it? Or does it have some other way to make itself un-copyable, besides javascript?
The RightToClick extension will only work on web pages that disable the right-click context menu and not on built-in XUL pages (see View Page Source; Ctrl+U) as the content of such pages is generated quite differently.
On XUL pages like about:addons it is not possible the select and highlight text.
That answers it . . . why won't they let me highlight it?
