Need garmin plug in-ran good before-now you disallowed.
Last revision of Firefox disallowed Garmin plug in that is essential for downloading info to gps unit. I must have this plugin and it must be allowed. Internet Explorer is too slow and frequently crashes. I really like Firefox, but if I cannot use it for this function-it is of no use to me. It did run ok until I down loaded the latest version of Firefox. Can I get to old version back or are you willing to undo this fiasco?

One possible explanation is that Firefox 43 requires that extensions be digitally signed by the Mozilla Add-ons team, otherwise, they are disabled. (More info: Add-on signing in Firefox) Many publishers are still working through that process.
I don't know whether an update is available for the Garmin Communicator extension, but that would be the first thing to try.
Meanwhile, if you confirm that the problem is a lack of signature, you can make a temporary exception to the signing requirement. This is global for all extensions, there's currently no way to only make an exception for one specific extension.
Check Status
Open the Add-ons page using either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then scroll to the bottom of the list on the right side where the disabled extensions are listed. Does RoboForm say it is unverified and does it lack an Enable button? In that case, this is most likely the problem.
Make Exception
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste xpin and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to switch it from true to false -- note that this is for Firefox 43 only

Hmm it seems you have Garmin Communicator 4.2.0.0 which is newer? but was installed outside of addons.mozilla.org ?
