So I must re-enter the module filename (PKSC11 dll for Ikey) all times, I start thunderbird in order to sign my mail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add a security device 2.load it 3.close thunderbird Actual Results: look in device manager, your device is dispeared Expected Results: My token stay in device manager :) No pb with previous version of thunderbird I don't test mozilla, so I don't know if it's a NSS bug or Thunderbird I can't deploy thunderbird in my company because we have all a token to sign/crypt mail, autenticate your-self, etc
I have exactly the same problem with Mozilla 1.7 RC1. (I had thunderbird installed before though...) Mozilla 1.6 worked. Can you please change the subject from PKSC to PKCS? I was looking for this bug and found it only accidently...
Oups, I'm sorry PKSC mistake So it seems to be a Mozilla/NSS 1.7.RC bug !

apparently this has nothing to do with Thunderbird and is currently present in all of the mozilla apps. PSM or NSS may be a better component. This sounds like a potential 1.7 stopper to me. cc'ing John in case he has an opinion on what component he thinks this bug belongs.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I have did a few tests: The PKCS #11 module does exist in secmod.db. I used modutil to check it and modutil loaded the module without problems. It does not seem to be corrupted or anything like that. Thus, my guess would be that either the module is never initialized during startup of mozilla or for whatever reason mozilla "restores" the original settings in memory during startup. I cannot find any suitable working debugging options I could use to get some debug logs for NSS else I might be able to tell you more about it...
I have just updated to Mozilla 1.7 RC2 and it loaded the security device during the first start. So it was properly configured in secmod.db but not loaded. And at least for me with RC2 it is working again...
I'm going to go ahead and mark this fixed since it sounds like 1.7 RC2 picked up a fix for this. If someone still sees it in 1.7final (or RC2) please re-open. Otherwise this fix will automatically be in the next thunderbird release
