Comment #24 on issue 975 by tbeposts: FF 3.0.15 said to be incompatible
with Gears 0.5.33.0
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=975
As far as I can tell there is no Gears version 0.5.33. The latest version
of Gears
0.5.32 and there's no update available.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.6pre (currently) and was seeing
this same
problem. I had installed Gears by installing the 0.5.32 .xpi file via the
Gears
website. But for some reason, Gears 0.5.32 was also installed via the
Synaptic
package manager. This is a separate install from the .xpi file found on the
Gears
website and appeared to have been causing the problem. I removed Gears via
the
package manager and the problem disappeared. This *did not* remove the Gears
extension from Firefox.
My guess is that a conflict was caused by the system attempting to install
Gears into
Firefox when the latest version was already installed via an extension.
I don't know what other ditros use for a package manager but I would
suggest checking
to see if your version of Linux already has Gears installed as a package
and if so,
remove it and use the "official" .xpi version of the Gears website. This
way will
guarantee regular updates which you may not get via the repositories.
