Public bug reported: Hi,
This is on Jammy LTS. I can not add a security device into Firefox. The smart cards I'm using requires a closed source client software (mPollux DigiSign client) available here: https://dvv.fi/en/card-reader-software . The module the user needs in this case is a PKCS#11 module, for which an open source solution is not available at this time, as open source PKCS#11 solutions do not support the current cards issued in Finland AFAIK (not sure if this is relevant; case may be the snap Firefox fails with *all* security modules at this time, but I don't have other modules to test.). Loading the module fails with a generic message "Unable to load module" (or the equivalent in the language configured for Firefox). As a general troubleshooting step I reverted Firefox to the non-sandboxed, non-snap version from the ppa ppa:mozillateam/ppa. With the non-snap version, this security module can be added with no problems. Possibly related (duplicate?): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1951646 . I'm not sure about the duplicateness, however it is possible in case the underlying cause is the same. Steps to reproduce: 1. Have a smart card and a reader requiring to use mPollux DigiSign client (it would be interesting to test other PKCS#11 modules, other smart card modules or any security device in Firefox and see if it works) 2. Try to add a security device in Firefox via Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Security Devices 3. Navigate to the needed .so (in my case: /usr/lib64/libcryptoki.so Observed results: Adding the module fails with a very generic and vague error message. Expected results: Adding the module should succeed. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970561 Title: Unable to load security device [snap] [libcryptoki] Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, This is on Jammy LTS.
