Why can't you use Google Gears in Ubuntu 8.04?

| | Comments (0) |

Here's the error message I got:

Google Gears 0.3.14.0 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0b5

Maybe I'll try it in Epiphany.

Later: Nope, Google Gears doesn't support Epiphany.

Onto Debian Lenny, which has Firefox 2.

Still later: Nope, Google Gears does not recognize Iceweasel as Firefox, even though it's the same app, different name.

Maybe it'll work with Firefox 2 in OpenBSD ...
