Appears to be across the board bug regardless of operating system - Ubuntu 9.04 
on Firefox 3.0.9
& .10.

Same for Gears 0.5.33.0, Firefox 3.5.5, Windows Vista SP1.

This line in greasemonkey script crashes FF:
unsafeWindow.GearsFactory();

I have to inject a whole GM script into page, so it executes out of GM sandbox. 
Very
inconvinient :(

I was bit by this bug as well, and found a work around. If you defer the 
initGears()
function call to execute in the "load" event listener it seems to work, at 
least in
my script. Attached is a test case that works for me.

Mac OS X 10.6.2
Firefox 3.5.6
Gears 0.5.33.0
Greasemonkey 0.8.20091209.4
