    I've just noticed that for some time that my USB passkey does not work
    in my browser (Firefox). Setting sysctl hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0 and re-attaching
    the device (so it gets the "uhid" driver) fixes the problem:

    sbhid0: <Nitrokey Nitrokey 3, class 239/2, rev 2.10/1.07, addr 21> on usbus0 hidbus2: <HID bus> on usbhid0
    (** does not work **)
    ugen0.4: <Nitrokey Nitrokey 3> at usbus0 (disconnected)
    usbhid0: at uhub4, port 1, addr 21 (disconnected)
    hidbus2: detached
    usbhid0: detached
    ugen0.4: <Nitrokey Nitrokey 3> at usbus0
    uhid0 on uhub4
    uhid0: <Nitrokey Nitrokey 3, class 239/2, rev 2.10/1.07, addr 22> on usbus0 (** works **)

    This is an oldish FreeBSD 15 from August...

    If before, you may want to test after.
    If after, you may want to report that fact.
    Is this a known problem?
