New issue 975 by r.drew.davis: FF 3.0.15 said to be incompatible with Gears 0.5.33.0
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=975 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start with FF 4.0.15 without Gears. 2. Install by clicking the install link on gears.google.com. It installs 0.5.32.0. 3. After the Firefox restart, check for extension updates and allow it to try to install 0.5.33.0 What is the expected output? What do you see instead? You expect the offered update to install. Instead it pops up a box that says "Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem." What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I'm using Ubuntu 9.4 (Jaunty Jackalope). Please provide any additional information below. See http://groups.google.com/group/gears-users/browse_thread/thread/dd48ced4bc35c2ff - Gears won't update. See http://groups.google.com/group/gears-users/browse_thread/thread/4855fd8df82b11e4 - Januty [sic], Firefox 3.0 and gcc3 issue See http://groups.google.com/group/gears-users/browse_thread/thread/317d178b1cb5c055 - Google Gears is not compatible (Linux_x86-gcc3) There are disturbingly many other open issues that are awfully close to this one, but that involve different versions of Firefox. Seems like Gears is having a lot of trouble keeping up with new revs of Firefox. That is worrisome.
