Sweatshirt, I had the same issue and fixed as follows :
1. download file from http://drop.io/gears_linux_0_5_33_version_hack/asset/gears-linux-opt-xpi 2. drag the downloaded one into a firefox window and it should be installed on your existing version. or select file then open from the firefox toolbar and select the file you downloaded. hope it helps.
