It simplifies the install for people lazy like me.

I was hoping to get this working with Prism 0.8 or above, rather than within firefox. there I can see the logic. not sure about the motivation here. since gears supports firefox anyway, why bother with prism?

(At least, that's what it does on OS X.) This fails when it gets Prism's version number (eg, 1.0) instead of the 3.0 or 3.5 that it expects. The workaround is simple enough, although a bit of an ugly hack: http://westacular.livejournal.com/43666.html The latest version of Gears, 0.5.30.0, contains its own loader stub that detects which release of Firefox you’re using and then chooses the appropriate module.

Up and runnning now - of course you have to redo this every time gears updates...

I didn't think I'd be able to use Prism for Gmail (I'm on a PC btw), as I hate the standard interface and use Google Redesigned add-on for FF. I used this hack and voila...it works! Thanks again!!

You should make sure that it's in exactly the same format as the original one (with the same internal paths). If I get the chance I'll post some more info on it, but since my wife had a baby recently don't hold your breath! Good luck, Pete Hi Pepa,
