Not really. HTML 5 only brings an SQLite database accessible from JavaScript. Gears has other features that aren't present in Gecko proper (yet): - LocalServer - a way to transparently persist resources locally - WorkerPool - threads. The WHATWG HTML 5 spec does include provisions for WebWorkers,

Heh, I didn't know LocalStorage had been in Firefox for so long. I was under the impression it was at the same stage as Webkit. Thanks for the link. Again, this should be sufficient for Karma-in-Firefox. But many websites already use Gears specifically, and I need them to work for Webified.

Yes. I believe Gears tries to write its profile relative to where it is installed. Since it is usually installed in Firefox's user profile, it works in that case. I tried Sebastian's .rpm with and without root, it only worked with root. However, I view this as a minor problem, with Gears actually
