Alternative is to apply stopgap fix and wait until Gears is compatible w/3.5.1 to apply update patch. From Brian Krebs, Washington Post:
"...Fortunately, there is a relatively easy fix for this that can be reversed once Mozilla issues a patch. To disable the vulnerable component, open up a new Firefox window and type "about:config" (without the quotes) in the browser's address bar. In the "filter" box, type "jit" and you should see a setting called "javascript.options.jit.content". You should notice that beside that setting it reads "true," meaning the setting is enabled. If you just double-click on that setting, it should disable it, changing the option to "false." That's it." Who knows how long Google will leave us hanging again. The worst, I think, was that Google told us nothing for 2 weeks. Even when updated Gears became available, I had to find out about it from other sources. The Google Gears installation page didn't even say anything about an updated version! Just incredible.
