How to load PKCS11 module and deploy to enterprise

I am currently using Firefox Quantum ESR 60 in an enterprise deployment.

We noticed that our smartcards are no longer being read after upgrading from Firefox 38 to 60.

I cam see that once I load the module under security devices, the issue goes away.

My question is how do I deploy this out to everyone else now? I can't expect our users all to do this manually.

Any help would realyl be appreciated.

thank you.

Chosen solution

We don't currently have that support in policies right now. It will be added in ESR 60.4/Firefox 64.

In the mean time, you can create an extension to load the PKCS11 module:

Or use CCK2 or Autoconfig.
