Bug 1856972 Comment 24 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

Hi @BPER_ILEX, while we work on resolving this, could you provide the following information:

1) Which version of macOS are you using to test?
2) Is the module always installed in `/usr/local/lib`?
3) Can we download the module for our own testing? If so, please provide a link.
4) In addition to what's mentioned on comment 14, do you know of other pkcs11 modules commonly used?

Thank you!

macOS [10.15 and later has native support for smartcards](https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/supported-smart-card-functions-on-mac-depc47f60521/web), but it appears that loading pkcs11 libraries is still needed in some cases.

To address this, we will probably have to relax some of the restrictions (shipped in bug 1593072) for the parent process executable for now.

We'll work on getting an official build to test and verify the fix.

Additionally, Firefox ESR can be used as a workaround in the short term.
