Well, yes and no. It would be possible through Firefox, but the feature (through WebRTC) is very recent, and low-level -- you'd have to go through a prompt, then they'd probably have to connect with sockets, do a request, and come back with the final results. Conversely, Chrome has had x-webkit-speech -- a high-level text-to-speech feature -- since 2011. The code's already all there, everything just needed to be linked up and presented a little better. They'll probably come out with Firefox support in a while -- it just takes more work.
