It seems that firefox behaves: if the smartcard is in firefox asks the PIN
of the smartcard. 
I am pretty sure it can read my smartcard, because I can use mod_ssl with
Apache 2.2 and I can read the certificate's information with a perl routine.

Furthermore, from the debug logs it is clear that there is an ssl
handshaking going on.
Any clue?
Thanks
