Yes, i have a lot of cards. Most of them are supported by OpenSC and 
thats why i need this OpenSC-PKCS11 driver in the browser. But also i do 
have a card which is not supported by opensc and using own PKCS11 
library. Problem is that if FF is running i am unable to use this 
driver. I posted dump of the falied session (using  OpenSC PKCS#11 spy)  
to the http://pastebin.com/8s9ErZJ1 . It starts to work very slowly on 
C_Initialize and finally dying on C_OpenSession. If FF is closed 
everything works well. So i assume that for some reason opensc-pkcs11.so 
with FF is locking this card and want to fix that.
