While trying to send to GPS using Google Maps Garmin wants to update their communicator software.
Looks like Garmin has screwed up again, Firefox 23.0.1 & Garmin Communicator 4.0.4.0 install just keeps looping installing.
Tried it in IE 9 and it works OK.
Not sure
Not sure how this is Garmin's issue, at least as of this minute. I was just notified that Firefox 23.0.1 was available a few hours ago so it would seem you have an incompatibility between the plugin and the new Firefox release.
Almost everytime Firefox gets updated there are one or two plugins or extensions that don't work but normally this gets fixed very quickly by the plugin owner. I'm sure if the Communicator isn't installing properly with the new release of Firefox it will get corrected pretty quick as well. It's not like Garmin knows that Mozilla is going to change something in Firefox that's going to cause the Communicator plugin a problem.
By the way Firefox and Garmin Communicator work fine on my computer but I already had Communicator installed before I updated to Firefox 23.0.1
