Some pkcs11 changes appear to be happening in #91746. |

I don't expect that this will impact the firefox functionality, but I'd be willing to check everything again once the nss and firefox updates hit unstable. |

The NSS update is in master now (and most binaries are available already). If it (still) works for you, I see no reason to wait with merging it. |

Still works (both on a clean firefox profile and my usual firefox profile). |

Motivation for this change
Configuring the middleware for the Belgian eID in firefox required some manual work, that still left the PKCS#11 in a weird state since (at least on my machines) the firefox extension sends a notification warning about the PKCS#11 module being missing (even though the functionality worked). This adds an extra option similar to
extraNativeMessagingHosts(added in #31572) that allows configuring PKCS#11 modules in the firefox wrapper. This fixed all papercuts related to the eID middleware (manually adding it is no longer required and there is no longer a notification on startup).Things done
