Why is there no MgnContent Manager available in Firefox anymore?

I am trying to update my Magellan GPS device. I have followed the instructions provided by Magellan, but the plug in is missing. What happened to MgnContent Manager plug in? I will need this plug in to update my GPS device.

Thank you!

Are you using this site: https://www.smartgpseco.com/ (see https://www.magellangps.com/support/contentmanager)

Was it a plugin or an extension?

The regular release of Firefox 52 and later no longer run any plugins other than Flash. See: Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work?

Firefox 61 runs extensions, of course, but from Firefox 57 on, "Legacy" interfaces have been discontinued so extensions cannot directly do as much as they used to; the developer sometimes needs to supply a separate program for the extension to interact with.

Does Magellan have instructions for updating your device using a different browser?
