Question: Why isn't the Garmin Communicator Plugin detected in my browser after installing it? Link to Garmin Knowledge Base about Garmin Communicator Plugin I found this on the Garmin Knowledge Base. I did not have to anything following the update to Firefox 41.0 *** *** I have now updated to Firefox 41.0 and the Garmin Communicator Plugin is still working. I have Firefox 40.0.3 installed and earlier today I was unable to use the Garmin Communicator Plugin, however once I followed the instructions below for Firefox, I was then able to use the Garmin Communicator Plugin. Obviously, without a paid third-party application, there doesn't appear to be a fix via the site. I only came here to see if members knew of a way around it. As I stated earlier, Garmin appears to be absolutely clueless on what to do other than replace the device, which doesn't make any sense while it works with Safari. Point taken, and I will move on elsewhere. At least I can see how the forums are here to newcomers. This issue occurred on Sept 1, that's why a lot of you think it still works, but never mind. You could try complaining on Garmin's forums.Īnyway, if you really want to geocache, become a premium member. Have a read and try some of the suggestions.Ĭomplaining here is a complete waste of time as this site has nothing to do with Garmin. I will look into Opera, but come on, Garmin needs to find a way for this to work with IE/Firefox/Chrome.
