Going to that second link (the .xpi link) did the trick for me. It brought up the installation warning again, but this time I was able to "allow" it and it installed and the warnings are gone! Thank you! At some point, I must have disallowed its installation causing this whole mess. Then for whatever reason, I wasn't able to re-allow it on gears.google.com You win the million dollar prize!

Snyder Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:17:49 +0000 http://chriscoyier.net/?p=46#comment-128 Go to: http://gears.google.com/ and click on the "Install Gears" button. According to the site above, Gears is available for Windows, Windows Mobile, Mac, and Linux. It appears that you are using Firefox 3, I would just make sure that you aren't still using a beta version. I just installed Gears for my Mac with Firefox 3.0.1, tonight, without issue. The location of the xpi installation for OSX is: http://dl.google.com/gears/current/gears-osx-opt.xpi Another thought, do you have some security related plugin that is locking down further on the installation of add-ons (more than the defaults of Firefox)? Hope this helps! Jeremy Go to: http://gears.google.com/
and click on the “Install Gears” button.

It's been over a month for me, no idea how to get it either installed or uninstalled. Do you remember how you got it installed?
