For official builds and if you're using Windows you have to uninstall Gears using Windows Add/Remove Programs in XP (Vista and Windows 7 call it something else but it serves the same function). For the developer's build (0.5.25.0) of Gears that was recently offered on this Group, it can be installed via Firefox's Add-ons Manager. For Ubuntu or other Linux distro, Gears is also uninstalled via Firefox's Add-on Manager.

How do you un-install the previous version?

If you previously installed any of the developer builds of Gears that has
been offered on this Group of late (version 0.5.25.0) or you have a later
version that's incompatible installed it has to be uninstalled first before
you'll see the installer (version 0.5.29.0) on the Google Gears home page.
Otherwise it just re-installs your current version or no version at all. I
assume of course that you're talking about the installer on the Google Gears
home page?

Or imagine if Google put out a new version of Chrome and Gears didn't
work... Sounds to me like Google is trying to do what it can to push
users to Chrome. The fact that they claim they'd have to do an update
for ever RC is ridiculous, the whole point of an RC's is that its
practically feature complete and its to check for last minute bugs. I
cant picture each RC being so different that they'd have to do some
major code re-writing.

I just upgraded to the official Firefox 3.5, and Google Gears was
disabled. Can you imagine of upgrading to Firefox 3.5 disabled Flash?
Not a good step, Google.

Thanks for the response Aaron.  Previous advice from Google in
searching this thread was that you updated for the RC.


It's good to know we'll have it soon.  It looks like final release of
Firefox 3.5 is due in the next day or so.

We're working on pushing out a new Gears version that support FF
3.5.


We typically wait until the official "gold" release of Firefox is
pushed, because otherwise, we keep having to do new builds everytime
a
new RC is pushed.

I'm starting to think we may see a new version of the Google Apps
suite (Docs, Gmail, etc) that support Gears supporting HTML 5
rather
than a Gears release for a HTML 5 capable browser.


It would still be nice to get some official word from Google on
what
the plan is here though.
