Which PAM are you using with OpenSC?

Do you use the same PAM module or does Kobil provides one?

Can you start firefox in debug mode to try to identify the source of
the crash (firefox or opensc)?

Just start firefox as (on Linux):
$ firefox -g
You should then be inside gdb
(gdb) run
wait for the crash
(gdb) backtrace
