The norm seems to be google updates gears about 1 week after the new
firefox release. Gears is a pretty deep manipulation of the browser
and it seems like a substantial amount work to get to compatibility
with each new browser version. I wish google would maintain a beta
track gears extension with marginal compatibility with prerelease
browsers. It would make handleing all 4 major browsers much easier.
