Comment #43 on issue 749 by [email protected]: Gears 0.4.20.0 not compatable with Firefox 3.1 Beta 1
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=749
I got the XPI file ( http://dl.google.com/gears/current/gears-linux-opt.xpi ), extracted it, overwrote install.rdf with the linked version, recompressed and renamed the archive from .zip to .xpi, used File > Open from Firefox, and still got this familiar error:
PRODUCT_FRIENDLY_NAME_UQ PRODUCT_VERSION could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.6.13.
(I posted a similar message before realizing that I had compressed the folder which contained the uncompressed files, so they weren't in the archive root anymore. And I'm posting this here because I think these problems should be ironed out all in the same thread.)
