Firefox requires an additional browser extension for Web eID to work. If Firefox is enabled with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true</code>, this can specified system-wide, as follows...

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">programs.firefox.nativeMessagingHosts.packages = [ pkgs.web-eid-app ];</syntaxhighlight>

...or per user with Home Manager, as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

programs.firefox.nativeMessagingHosts = [ pkgs.web-eid-app ];

</syntaxhighlight>

If you're building a ~~firefox~~ derivation yourself, you can override it with <code>extraNativeMessagingHosts = [ pkgs.web-eid-app ];</code>.

Alternatively, systemd can be used to create the symlink, as such:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix" line="1">

systemd.tmpfiles.rules = [

"L+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbeidpkcs11.so.0 - - - - ${pkgs.eid-mw}/lib/pkcs11/beidpkcs11.so"
