[Bug 2089141] [NEW] Opensc smart cards do not work in the snapped browsers

[Nathan Teodosio]

Public bug reported:

Opensc supported smartcards can now be loaded in Firefox so:

First connect the PCSCD interface:

  snap connect firefox:pcscd

To load the module, write this path in Settings > Security devices >
Load:

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so

The file picker messes with the path, do NOT use it!

Context
-------

This bug was created for reference. It was split from LP:1967632, which
reference smart cards in general, and although many (most?) are
supported by Opensc, many are not, so that bug cannot be closed yet,
while this can.
