I just got my prompt to update FireFox. I did so. There was a message saying Google Gears would not work in the updated version and once updated it would check for updated versions of Google Gears. I continued. After completing the update it asked if I wanted to check for updates to Google Gears. I did. It said no updates were found, try again later.
I was not watching carefully and I may have got some of this a bit wrong. I also haven't tried to use Google Gears yet to see if the old version is working in spite of the message, but I am writing a quick note to record an issue while it is fresh. This could cause a lot of issues in a busy installation IF we are relying on Google Gears as a substitute for Flash in a world where Flash does not support the upload functionality (i.e. Flash 10 currently and Flash on Linux any version). Hopefully unlikely, but I understand the Gears work to be at least partly driven by thinking it a contingency plan for this scenario.
