I can't use military web sites that require a certificate from a CAC card. We normally use ActiveIdentity and that is where my certificates are stored. I have a card reader and ActiveIdentity stored on the computer, and I am able to access these sites using Internet Explorer. I prefer to use Firefox, if you can tell me how.

On previous versions of Firefox, for the past six years, I've had no problems using a CAC Card. Ever since this latest version of Firefox came out, I suddenly have a problem. It works fine on IE9. I diagnosed the card reader through Active Client software, and it works fine. Hate to say this, but that's a whole lot of people to alienate, when military personnel can't conduct business through a secure site. The first link is disabled. The second link has issues loading.

I just tried logging on with cac card on google chrome, and it worked flawlessly! Internet Explorer 9, and Chrome works great with the reader.
