Google Gears not supported in Firefox 3.6 - updated

Last week I wrote about the new Firefix 3.6 browser not being supported by google gears.

My biggest reason for noticing was that google latitude wasn't detecting my location based on wifi location anymore.  The other big application affected is the gmail offline access.

Google has since stated that gears is essential dead for new development, and that HTML5 is the next best thing.

And, it seems that latitude is now supporting the location API in  Firefox 3.6 since somewhere near Friday the 29th of January.

That's all that I know for now.
