There are 3 steps:
-
Go to the install directory of Gears:
Mac OS X - ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<yourprofile>/extensions/{000a9d1c-beef-4f90-9363-039d445309b8}
Windows - C:\Program Files\Google\Google Gears\Firefox
Linux - ./mozilla/firefox/<yourprofile>/extensions/{000a9d1c-beef-4f90-9363-039d445309b8} -
Modify the install.rdf file:
- Do a search on any search engine for the GUID of the Mozilla variant you are using. The example below uses Flock's
-
Add this to your install.rdf file under the last </em:targetApplication> (note: id is the GUID):
<em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{a463f10c-3994-11da-9945-000d60ca027b}</em:id> <em:maxVersion>6.02</em:maxVersion> <em:minVersion>0.2</em:minVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication>
- Zip up the contents of the directory, rename the .ZIP to .XPI, drag the .XPI into your Mozilla variant.
