Voice search

When will FireFox support voice search? It's annoying when I have to type every word to search. There aren't any extensions that support this.

I do not know the answer to that. However, if you run Windows, you could use the system-level voice typing feature to fill fields in Firefox:

What if I don't use Windows? Windows voice input supports very few languages. Anyway I removed FireFox, at least Chrome is better for me. Thank you for your help.

Would be even better if Firefox activated the Windows voice recognition function automatically. Considering all of the bells and whistles all software has, and the fact we're almost 50 years into the personal computer age, this seems a reasonable request and expectation.
