I have a Thursby CAC reader, connects via USB to my Android smartphone. Can Firefox be configured to recognize/use this CAC reader?

Hi

I do not belive so at the present time. If there was more interest for that feature it is something that we may consider in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. With the recent experiences with teleworking, the DoD is increasingly moving to cloud-hosted collaboration capabilities. This requires the use of CACs. Not a problem with desktop browsers, but on Android...

I am currently working with Thursby, who has a CAC reader that works with Android smartphones. But, it also requires the use of their Android browser (which, currently, seems to have issues). It'd be nice to be able to access that CAC reader, and use smartphones to access cloud-hosted collaboration capabilities, from a browser like Firefox.
