The Binance Wallet Extension for firefox no longer works using Ledger Nano X as of today.
I'm guessing it's because of the upgrade of the BNB Beacon chain release 0.10.10 which was released today.
When trying to send BNB using the Binance Wallet Extension, it errors out with
"LedgerClient: Call makeApp() first"
Same operation was working fine yesterday.
bnbcli still works properly with the binance chain ledger app so the problem is unlikely to be with https://github.com/bnb-chain/node or https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-binance
The problem would seem to be in the firefox binance chain wallet extension (which doesn't appear to be open source)
https://www.bnbchain.org/en/binance-wallet
Apparently, it will no longer be maintained and will be merged into Trust Wallet
Problem solved.
For future reference, in case someone lands here with the same problem.
It turns out Firefox 112 disabled the deprecated U2F JavaScript API by default which caused the Firefox Binance Wallet Extension to fail.
The U2F API can be re-enabled using the security.webauth.u2f preference in about:config as described in this article at Ledger
