As far as I know, not as the master password protecting Firefox's own password store. But what you can do is make Firefox use *another* password store, one that relies on GnuPG.

pass [1] is a password manager which encrypts passwords with the user's GnuPG key. Several plug-ins are available to instruct Firefox to use pass instead of its own password storage system, such as PassFF [2] or BrowserPass [3]. (Disclaimer: I tried none of them.)

So, when Firefox will need a password it will ask pass, which will call gpg, which will in turn "call" your smartcard.

An obvious drawback of this method is that you need to migrate all your passwords from Firefox's own storage to pass. There is at least one script available for that [4], but again I did not try it.

Hope that helps,

Damien
