Security device not present after closing and re-opening Firefox

more options

Hello:

I'm running RedHat 7.4 and FF 59.0.3

I went to Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Security Devices -> Load

I gave the module a name of Coolkey Module and the path to the following file: /usr/lib64/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so

After confirming, when I click on the node for the smart card in the Coolkey Module tree, the Status field says "Ready"

On subsequent openings of Firefox, the Status field says "Not Present".

How do I make it so the adde Security Device persists through opening and closings of Firefox?

Thanks!

You should contact RedHat support.

Really? Because it's Firefox throwing the error not the OS.

I can see the certs on my smart card through the Smart Card Manager without error.
