If you decided to install the Google Gears add-on for Firefox to enhance the speed of using WordPress, you may be experiencing crashes when uploading photos or files or attempting to install plugin upgrades. If this occurs, please simply uninstall Google Gears from Firefox. This occurs while using Firefox 3.0.10.
We haven’t noticed a significant speed increase in using Google Gears with WordPress to warrant keeping it installed for the moment. A WordPress support item (#267278) is currently following the issue.
