Regarding if Firefox will load into other PKI-authentication required

Then the problem is FF, not something peculiar with the site.
Can you see your CAC certs in FF when you go to Tools | Options |
Advanced | Encryption and open the certificate store? FF should
prompt you for your PIN when you do this. If it doesn't and you
don't see your certs, then the PKCS#11 module likely didn't install
correctly; unload it if it's present, close and reopen the Security
Devices dialog, and re-load it. The path is:
/usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/pkcs11/pkcs11.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
pkcs11
I need to access a page that does not view properly with Safari so I
turned to Firefox.
I configured Firefox in the past; however, my current Firefox 2.0.0.4
install is not configured and I can't get it to load pkcs11.
First off it seems these instructions are for an old version of
Firefox. There is no "Options" under the "Tools" menu. I got to
where I have configured this is the past via "Preferences" in the
"Firefox" menu, then Advanced, Encryption, and Security Devices. Now
when you try to "Load" you can either type in the name (copy & paste)
or use browse. Browse is a mess, you can't browse to the location,
so you have to use cmd-shift-g to goto the right directory, but if
you then select the file I get a mess of letters, and then a dialog
box wider then my screen whose default action is cancel. Funny thing
is the dialog box disappears at the end of my screen rather then
extending onto my second monitor. Good thing you can copy and paste
the file location into Firefox, unfortunately then Firefox crashes.
So little wonder people have trouble with CAC access and Firefox. I
had this working years ago and now nothing.
