Gears causes Firefox crash when using Wordpress image uploader

[richards1052]

Does anyone know how to report a major GG bug that causes Firefox
browser to crash when uploading an image via Wordpress? Here's the
thread in the WP support forum:

I'm using GG 0.5.21.0

Christ, what a song & dance just to post a response!

You would think software providers would make it easier to report
bugs...

Anyway, yes, I'm having the same issue. I've just disabled Google
Gears and Wordpress works fine. What exactly does Google Gears do for
me anyway?

It also causes Firefox to crash with Gmail when add-ons like
BetterGmail2 and Integrated Gmail are enabled. This latest Gears
update caused a huge mess for me and many wasted hours. I hope a
fixed update will come out soon. Guess I could also look in history
and install the older version.

I'm just surprised more users haven't said anything.
