FF never asks for the PIN. When I view the device in the Security Devices dialog, it shows the SCM SCR 331 reader, but it doesn't really look like its reading it well. Here are the results it gives:
Status: Not Present
Description: SCM SCR 331 00 00
Manufacturer: Unknown
HW Version 255.255
FW Version: 0.0
My reader is updated to the SCM 5.25 firmware. If the reader is unplugged, it won't even list that entry in FF, so it must be at least seeing the reader somewhat. Any ideas?

Thanks for reposting that Clay, that cleared up things a little bit. However, it still didn't seem to work for me unfortunately. Firefox successfully loaded the driver, but after restarting Firefox, my certificates still don't show up in Firefox.
When the card is in the reader, FF should prompt for the PIN when you open the Certificates dialog. Technically speaking it doesn't need the PIN as the certs aren't PIN protected, but there you go.
If it's not, open the Security Devices dialog and see if your reader is detected. If the reader is present, clicking on it should show whether it sees the card insertion.
Do I need the egate driver like the Fedora page mentions for Coolkey? Do I need to manually compile Coolkey against 10.5, or is the precompiled binary still fine? Are there any other steps I could be missing?
The eGate driver is for the actual Red Hat Coolkeys (well, one version of them anyway), so you don't need that. I compiled my own from CVS source, but I've been told in email that the pre-built package should still be working.
