Comment #35 on issue 975 by troyengel: FF 3.0.15 said to be incompatible
with Gears 0.5.33.0
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=975
Thanks guys, I got the dialog again after my fix and also noticed that
extra "beef"
key with the date/timestamp but hadn't had time to investigate. So, what I
did was
deleted the updater.beef key and quit FF. I then ran:
$ date +%s
1258743226
Started FF, then went to about:config and the key was back (and I got the
Update
error dialog right away). The value in the config key was:
1258743223 836 (extra space mine, last 3 are...milli? secs)
Since the second value is lower (earlier), I can only deduce that this
date/timestamp
is since the *last* check, not the next time *to* check. Setting it to
99999999's
like thiagofreirels pointed out should tell the updater that the last time
it checked
was, uh... "GMT: Sat, 20 Nov 2286 17:46:39 GMT" according to
epochconverter.com. :)
Let's hope we don't see that dialog again now after setting both keys. I
suspect that
the first key I came up with is for the extension itself (Gears), and the
second key
is for a generic Google updater shim (there are several references to it in
Google
for various softwares).
