Hello,

I guess the problem is not with Firefox itself but with the pkcs#11
library used in firefox.


>From your RedHat bug report
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1545027 it looks like an
issue with systemd activation.
Please debug with a simple tool like pcsc_scan.
Get it from http://ludovic.rousseau.free.fr/softwares/pcsc-tools/ or
use the redhat package.

Does pcsc_scan works in your configuration?

Bye
