Description of problem: I must use a smartcard reader from GEMALTO for accessing a specific professional site. I had to use sc-interface from Cryptovision which provides a library. I configured Security Devices with /usr/local/lib/libcvP11.so When I access the secured site, the PIN is asked. Normally, one time will be enough, but the window for the PIN comes again and again until the site is completely displayed. By comparison, Chromium asks the PIN, then ask which certificate to use, then all is fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 91-ESR, but this was already the case with 78-ESR.
I reported it also upstream. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1734810 After further testing, the problem is present with 91-ESR release from upstream, but not with the 93.0 release.

Thanks! When you see that they have patched 91-ESR for this issue, then please assign this report to all packagers collectively (or to its maintainer, if it has one, then), so that the patch can be imported.

Here is the report for the resolution in Firefox 93. However, the patch has not been ported to ESR. Discussions are on going. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1710731

(In reply to papoteur from comment #4) > A correction has been pushed to 91.3esr > https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr91/rev/4c8b37c0072d Nice :-) Assigning to all packagers collectively, since "Nobody" maintains this package. One of them might already want to add the upstream patch to 91.2 instead of waiting for 91.3 to be released.

Accepting the test in Comment 7 for function, so I'm just looking to see if the fix broke anything else. No installation issues. Tried several websites, no issues noted. Sending this on. Validating. Advisory in Comment 8.
