===============================================================================

Prerequisites: Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit, newest version of Mozilla Firefox, pcscd, default-jre, opensc, libacr38u,  libacr38ucontrol0, libacsccid1, libccid

In a Terminal session, run the following commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install firefox pcscd  default-jre  opensc libacr38u libacr38ucontrol0 libacsccid1  libccid
sudo aptitude remove --purge beid*
wget http://eid.belgium.be/fr/binaries/eid-mw_4%2E0%2E4r1253_amd64_tcm226-178472.deb
sudo dpkg -i eid-mw_4.0.4r1253_amd64_tcm226-178472.deb
wget http://eid.belgium.be/fr/binaries/eid-viewer_4%2E0%2E4r146_amd64_tcm226-178482.deb
sudo dpkg -i eid-viewer_4.0.4r146_amd64_tcm226-178482.deb

Manually set the following values in Mozilla Firefox in about:config

security.ssl.allow_unrestricted_renego_everywhere__temporarily_available_pref;true
security.ssl.enable_false_start;true
security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts;*.be

Manually replace the security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts name
 certif.belgium.be or *.be in about:config,  if you want to authenticate on a DIFFERENT site than www.cm.be or test.eid.belgium.be !!!

Download root certificates here:

Import root certificates into Firefox.

Ensure that there are absolutely NO add-ons or plugins installed in Mozilla Firefox.
Installing the Belgium eid Firefox add-on will NOT work in Linux and only make matters worse!
