Never thought of the theme choking down Gears since I've
always used the Firefox default (never been a big one on
themes). Glad you found the problem, Joe.

I worked it out...
It's the theme!!! Change back to the default theme that comes
with Firefox 3.0.5 and all works normal lol. I thought it was
the particular theme I was using (iFox Smooth) but I had
another one on there and that froze everything up as well. So
unless you got a theme there Kirk that doesn't interfere then
I think I found the culprit.
YAY!

Well I opened Google Docs and clicked on the 'Offline' link up
top and hit accept in the popup box. It didn't freeze and let
me sync my docs. I closed firefox down and restarted it and in
the docs page it has the green tick there instead of the
offline link confirming it was all good and working.
If was after that when I installed the other add-ons. I opened
up docs and checked it again and all was good even with the
other add-ons installed and running. It was only when I
clicked on Tools/Gears Settings that it locked up just like it
did before. I shut firefox down through task mananger,
restarted it and now my docs page is back to the offline link
again instead of the green tick. If I click on it and accept
the box it freezes again just like it has always done since I
can remember. Back to square one. :(
Any ideas?

Clicking on "Tools/Gears settings" brings up the Gears dialog

don't run "Foxmarks" though. Had you already added Foxmarks
when it locked up?

Doh! Now it's frozen again!
I went into gears settings in firefox and it froze again. I
shut it down and rebooted and now I'm back to where I started
again. :(
Kirk can you try click on Tools/Gears Settings and tell me
what happens?

Kirk you genius, creating a fresh new profile did the trick!
I'll try enabling all my add-ons and see if it still works...
Yep all good. Thanks so much. I hope everyone else is reading

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.

Ok I just disabled all other add-ons except Google Gears and
it still locks up (freezes).
So it's got me beat. I have absolutely no idea what is going
on.

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?

Thanks Kirk. So are you Firefox 3.0.5 at the moment?
Perhaps it's clashing with another addon for us here, an addon
that you
don't have kirk?
