Install English (Australia) Windows language pack and reboot. Install Firefox. Install Windows voice package English (Australia) which adds the "Microsoft Catherine" and "Microsoft James" voices (see screenshot) ["Microsoft James" actually has a UK accent not Australian but that's a Windows bug]. Reboot or logout and login again. The Firefox Narrate voice options list only has "Microsoft David Desktop - English (United States)" & "Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)" - "Microsoft Catherine" and "Microsoft James" are not listed.

I also tried adding the "English (United Kingdom)" voice package and this did actually result in the "Microsoft Hazel Desktop - English (United Kingdom)" voice being added to the Narrate voice list. The other UK voices "George" & "Susan" which appear in the Windows Speech Voices list did not appear in Firefox Narrate however (see screenshots).

This same issue was raised on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/al36uj/) and as irvinm66 speculates it seems that Firefox may only be recognizing so called "Desktop" type voices. Only the installed Desktop" type voices appear in my Windows registry at "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens" however all installed voices appear in the registry at "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech_OneCore\Voices\Tokens" so perhaps the wrong registry key is being used.

A search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in this file seems to confirm this.
