It doesn't appear that core24 is a known channel on my distribution... ``` $ snap info firefox name: firefox summary: Mozilla Firefox web browser publisher: Mozilla✓ store-url: https://snapcraft.io/firefox contact: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/file-bug-report-or-feature-request-mozilla license: unset description: | Firefox is a powerful, extensible web browser with support for modern web application technologies. commands: - firefox - firefox.geckodriver snap-id: 3wdHCAVyZEmYsCMFDE9qt92UV8rC8Wdk tracking: latest/stable/ubuntu-25.04 refresh-date: 2 days ago, at 18:44 MDT channels: latest/stable: 143.0-1 2025-09-18 (6782) 259MB - latest/candidate: 143.0-1 2025-09-11 (6782) 259MB - latest/beta: 144.0b2-1 2025-09-18 (6825) 261MB - latest/edge: 145.0a1 2025-09-18 (6831) 297MB - esr/stable: 140.3.0esr-1 2025-09-16 (6773) 257MB - esr/candidate: 140.3.0esr-1 2025-09-16 (6773) 257MB - esr/beta: ↑ esr/edge: ↑ installed: 143.0-1 (6782) 259MB - ```
143.0 is already the version of my installed firefox. I did encounter issues #1725 of project Yubico/yubioath-flutter (https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-flutter/issues/1725) with a discussion about resolving version incompatibility with the project flat pack. They link to [an analysis](https://blog.apdu.fr/posts/2022/02/accessing-smart-cards-from- inside/) by Ludovic Rousseau, an active maintainer of pcsc-lite through at least Dec 2024 according to my copy of /usr/share/doc/libpcsclite1/changelog.Debian.gz. I was able to duplicate the results shared by *ldet* in the discussion of issue #1725, in that I cloned, built, and installed PCSC at the tag 2.2.3. After a `systemctl daemon-reload` and relaunch of my Firefox, I was able to - observe my PKCS11 hardware in the "Security" section of the "Privacy & Security" tab in my Firefox settings (about:preferences#privacy). - insert and login to my SmartCard in Firefox, and subsequently - login to a web-sight using the certs on my hardware token. Chromium is still not working for me yet, but for my use case, just having one working browser will suffice. Many thanks Matthias Wallnöfer (mwallnoefer), Nathan Teodosio (nteodosio) for your insights. I doubt I'd have found the pcscd issue before I ran out of patience for this problem without your input. ** Bug watch added: github.com/Yubico/yubioath-flutter/issues #1725 https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-flutter/issues/1725 -- 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/2089141 Title: Opensc smart cards do not work in the snapped browsers Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Opensc supported smartcards can now be loaded in Firefox so: First connect the PCSCD interface: snap connect firefox:pcscd To load the module, write this path in Settings > Security devices > Load: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so The file picker messes with the path, do NOT use it!
