Public bug reported:
I have a Yubico U2F security key. If I download the upstream Firefox
binary for 57.0.4 and go to https://demo.yubico.com/u2f?tab=register,
the test page works fine: I can register with a username/password, my
key starts blinking and I can touch it to validate.
If I go to the same page using the official Ubuntu package of Firefox,
the U2F device is not recognized and the page displays the following
error:
"""
Registration failed!
Make sure you have a U2F device connected, and try again.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/python-u2flib-server-demo/examples/yubiauth_server.py", line 161,
in __call__
raise Exception("FIDO Client error: %s" % error)
Exception: FIDO Client error: 1 (OTHER ERROR)
"""
Note that in both cases, I did enable the required options in
"about:config" (as outlined in e.g. https://www.yubico.com/2017/11/how-
to-navigate-fido-u2f-in-firefox-quantum/).
