Belgian eID don't work with FF 98.0.2 !!!
Hello,
From the version 89... we have a non solutioned problem with Firefox... In Belgium, we use a "electronic Identification card" to access differents officials web site. but with Firefox I (We!!!) have a problem... the identification process loop with a message "Please insert the smart card" ??? After I receive the message: "Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to certif.iamfas.belgium.be. A PKCS #11 module returned CKR_GENERAL_ERROR, indicating that an unrecoverable error has occurred.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_PKCS11_GENERAL_ERROR"
I restart, I reinstall FF, I reinstall the eID software... no way!!! But it's work fine with Chrome, Edge,... Why not with Firefox 98.0.2 ?!? It's very important to find a solution for the belgian users, without this support, the users go to Chrome, Edge,... Have a nice day, Philippe

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I found this bug report about an issue on Linux and Mac OS that got fixed for Firefox 98.0.2, but it shouldn't affect Windows.
- 1759162 - PKCS#11 loading on Linux through the browser.pkcs11 API is broken since Bug 1745352 landed
If it worked in 98.0.1 then this might be a regression caused by this bug fix.
