    Red face Google gears problem in Ubuntu firefox

    I need to upload an documentary in youtube which consisit of 32 min duration , and I try mega upload plugin in youtube , and it told me to install Google gears in it , and I tried but poped up this window

    Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.

    I believe firefox doesnt support this , is there any alternative to upload big files in youtube

    If this isnt the appropriate place to ask , kindly apologise

    I found this info , can anyone help me to install those

    What does Gears require to be compatible with my Linux system?
    If you'd like to run the Gears for Firefox on a Linux (32-bit) platform, please make sure your system has glibc 2.3.5 or higher and libstdc++6 (Gears 0.3) or libstdc++5 (Gears pre-0.3).

    Hi,

    I have Firefox 3.6.6 on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.

    Got the following error while installing Google Gears from the official site gears.google##com:
    "Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.
    The following thread resolved my error:
    ubuntuforums##org/showthread.php?t=1517764&highlight=install+32+goog le+gears

    It suggests you to download Google Gears extension from gears64##org/build/05340/3417
    Even though I receive the compatibility error message, it works for me.

    Best of luck.
