"Test Page" Doesn't Test - Version: 2.9.1, 11/11/2009 02:24PM PST

After installation, you are taken to a Garmin "Test Page". In my case, it confirmed that the plug-in was correctly installed, and "Garmin GPS device is detected and communicating properly". However, my Garmin is not even connected! So much for the "test".

Conflict with Flip4Mac seems to be resolved. - Version: 2.8.3, 10/19/2009 02:00PM PST

I'm using an early MacBook Pro running Snowpuss 10.6.1, Flip4Mac 2.3.0.14, and Garmin Communicator Plugin 2.8.2.0. For the first time in my experience, no conflict. I believe the 2.8.3 Garmin update solved the problem. As recently as a week ago I experienced the problem stated by mrhill. I, however, I found it unnecessary to uninstall Flip4Mac to get the Garmin plugin working. It was only necessary to go to /Library/Internet Plug-ins and move BOTH Flip4Mac plugins to the Disabled Plug-ins folder within the same window. If Disabled Plug-ins folder doesn't exist, create one. But current versions of the software have made this unnecessary. Also, I allowed Flip4Mac to install the Micro$oft $ilverlight plugin. I have not had any problems with that either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This useful information is buried in replies below, but worth having upfront here:

Does not work with latest Safari if Flip4Mac is installed; uninstall Flip4Mac and it works fine.
Does work with latest Firefox, with or without Flip4Mac.
