[Bug 480596] Re: Incompatible extension 'Google Gears' in Firefox 3.5

[leeshipley]

Struck this problem with 32-bit Karmic Koala today.  Reinstalled Gears 05.32.0 code from Google.  It reloaded its cache on my machine and carried on.
Had the same issue with the 64-bit Karmic Koala only a two days ago.  The reinstall did not help.  Did a search and came up with Niel Speen's patch at nielspeen.com/blog/2009/02/google-gears-64-bit.  With nothing to lose, I installed his version (which appears in the add-ons as "05.33.0") and it appears to be working just fine.

Using Gears with Linux has always been bumpy.  I hope that this kind of
messing about and uncertainty is going to be eliminated in the future.
Gears is an useful bit of kit for the kind of work that I do.
