Getting Google Gears on Snow Leopard | 30/09/09 - 21.38 |
Google Gears is not yet compatible with Snow Leopard it would seem. There has been a bug report for it for months. If you go to the Google Gears website you don’t see a message that tells you this however – you instead don’t really get any advice. This is a screen shot using Firefox.

How do you get to the second screenshot with the install box showing? All you need to do is add:
?platform=mac-firefox
to the URL. Or you can just click here. You can do a similar trick for Safari and download something but it does not install on Snow Leopard (will work on Leopard I’m told). The Firefox one however does work on Snow Leopard without a hitch.
