Yes, it also happens with a new profile.
Reproducing it may be a bit more difficult as I'm using a closed
source library. On the other hand, this is by far the most popular
etoken, I'm using an Alladin eToken Pro.

How to reproduce.

1. install pcscd
2. start iceweasel
3. edit -> preferences -> advanced -> security devices
4. load libeToken.so.5.00 (in my case, other devices will
use a different library).
5. close iceweasel
6. remove pcscd
7. start iceweasel (the main window appears and hangs immediately)

The problem may be related to libeToken.so.5.00 . Perhaps that's the
one that tries to access pcscd and fails.

I've also tried to reproduce it with softhsm (thus entirely avoiding pcscd)
and I was not able to.
