+Marko Ramius Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It appears that the Garmin Plug-in is no longer supported by Firefox. I tried to "Send to My GPS" and it said my Garmin Plug-in was out of date, so I tried to install the latest plug-in and the message came up that Firefox no longer supports this plug-in.

Curious though... If you haven't found any yet since '06, why an issue now? Quote Link to comment

+DaveandSquib Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have found that this is also a problem with my Magellan Explorist 610 and 310 on two seperate PCs and on Firefox and Edge. It will be unacceptable if a fix is only provided for Garmin as Magellan still enables it's communicator plug in to be available. As this does appear to be a Geocaching.com problem you should fix it!

+on4bam Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As this does appear to be a Geocaching.com problem you should fix it! NO it isn't. If you would have read the 10's (if not 100's) of threads about the plugin you would know that the communicator plugin was based on 1990's technology (NPAPI) which is obsolete and a security risk. That's why just about every browser dropped support for it. It's up to plugin writers to come up with an alternative. It's a security issue that was dealt with by browser manufacturers, it was announced well in advance but plugin creators decided not to act until is was too late. Nothing GC can do about it.

+HHL Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) [...] Nothing GC can do about it. Right. But GS should remove the now obsolete "Send" button from the cache page to avoid confusion. Not a biggy I suppose. Hans Edited March 27, 2017 by HHL Quote Link to comment
