How to use Garmin Connect with Debian 7?



I'm using a Garmin Edge 520 for my bycicle and a (new) Forerunner for 
running. How can I access Garmin Connect without installing the Windows 
tools?

The Garmin Edge 520 is already registered to my Garmin Connect account. 
I've used an old Windows 7 notebook with isn't functional anymore. Now 
I've tried to sync the Edge 520 and (more important) to register the 
Forerunner with the garmin-plugin and the garmin-forerunner-tools. But it 
didn't work.

Is there anyone on the list using this tools?

I've installed firefox-esr from the official repos. I've tried to change 
the user agent string as mentioned by Andres Diener. But nothing happens. 
Neither the expected dialog appears, nor the configurations files are 
created.

garmin_get_info reports "garmin unit could not be opened!". The device 
itself is deteced and the filesysdtem is mounted:

"scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Garmin   FR235 Flash"

What's wrong?
