Workaround for Karmic:
sudo apt-get install gears
sudo nano /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/extensions/{000a9d1c-beef-
4f90-9363-039d445309b8}/install.rdf
In this file, change 0.5.32 to 0.5.33
This will make firefox think you already have the 0.5.33 installed and
thus not try to upgrade to it (failing every time)
Since Google doesn't support gears any longer there will probably not be
any new updates anyway.

adapted for Karmic.
This is IMO the only way to have gears in Linux, since gears in Chrome
for Linux never will be available.
