Need .dll to load to configure Firefox to use a CAC reader when using MS Smart Card Provider instead of ActiveClient

I am trying to configure Firefox so I can use my CAC card reader with it. I have instructions to load acpkcs201.dll or acpkcs201-en6.dll. However, we do not have ActivClient installed (we were told it causes a conflict with Citrix) so we use the Microsoft Smart Card Provider instead. Is there an equivalent .dll file to use (in place of acpkcs201.dll, etc.)?

I am using: Windows 7 x64; Firefox 38.0.5; Microsoft Smart Card Provider (card reader). Thank you.

This is something your CAC vendor should be able to help you with. Firefox doesn't officially support any smart card readers or programs. So it is up to the vendor to provide this support.

Sorry, which I could have been more helpful!
