Did you try Firefox on a new profile? Also, have you cleared Firefox's cache? If not, try clearing all of your private data and trying Gears again. If that doesn't work, try running Firefox with a fresh profile and see if that works.
Just thinking out loud here.

So it's got me beat. I have absolutely no idea what is going on. On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 9:06 AM, Joe Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: Wow ok thanks for that. I don't understand it then. I've never got this to work for a long as I can remember. Even last week I got a brand new notebook. I installed the latest Firefox, Gears and some other addons and again it does exactly the same thing. The other addons I am running are AdBlockPlus, DowndloadHelper, DownloadThemAll, Firefox Bookmarks Syncronizer and Tabmix Plus. is there anyone else here running some if not all of these add-ons I have running here?
