Per paikan07’s recommendation, I tried to enable gears in gmail.
Here the results when trying to use Google Gears as a Lab setting in gmail:
Gears in Gmail
As you see, I get the same permissions error.
And here, trying to download/install google gears into gmail as a Prism application:
Gears in Gmail/prism
I think that error has to do with Gears assuming the Prism version number is the Firefox version number.

These pics are from last June, and are too creepy not to share. I open my ice cream, take some out, then notice the inside of the lid. Yikes!

Has anyone gotten Google Gears to work on Firefox Mac?
‘Cuz I sure can’t get it to work. Which is a real bummer. The WordPress admin is many times faster in Safari with Gears running.
I have it installed correctly in Firefox. The Google page tells me so:
"Gears is installed"
And the Addons window agrees. But notice the Preferences button is greyed out.

So it all looks good so far. I go to enable Turbo in the WordPress admin. And am greeted with:
"Gears is installed on this computer, but is not enabled for use with WordPress."
OK no reason to be alarmed. I did install Gears but maybe it’s not enabled. So I click that button. Then I get:
"Your browser’s settings do not permit this website to use Google Gears."
So I obey again. I try to change the settings by using the Tools menu. Notice all other addons are disabled.

When I do that, nothing happens. No window. No messages. Nothing.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks in advance!
