Browser was Firefox 3.5.

I also tried to run the installer from a CMD prompt with admin privileges but 
got the
same error.

Parece que o Google Gears depende do ClickOnce. Seja lá o que for isso, parece 
que
não existe ainda (hoje é 25 de julho de 2009) uma implementação do 
ClickOnce para o
Firefox 3.5. Sendo assim, concluo que não está sendo possível instalar o 
Google Gears
no Firefox 3.5, por enqquanto.
