User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180326232916

Steps to reproduce:

From an addon, perform a call to browser.pkcs11.getModuleSlots() with a correct name for a PKCS#11 JSON file.


Actual results:

The browser UI froze for several seconds, until PKCS#11 calls which cause the module to access hardware, had returned.


Expected results:

The browser UI should not freeze, PKCS#11 calls should be done on a separate thread
