Again: Freeze on initializing
captaincampari says:
I'm also seeing the "freeze on initializing" problem.
This happens nearly regularly whenever Gears is enabled for RTM, on all machines, and Firefox (different versions):
- Disabling Gears fixes the problem (but I lose all my locally cached taks).
- When I re-enable Gears, the problem returns quite soon after re-enabling.
This happens for some month now, with different versions of Gears, making it practcally impossible to use RTM offline. :-(
Any ideas?

This is something we've seen over the past few months with the latest few versions of Gears. We posted some details on our status blog at the time: http://status.rememberthemilk.com/2009/05/17/63/
Long story short: it's best to keep Gears access for RTM disabled until a Gears version has a verified fix that will work again with RTM.

FYI, this happens to me regularely as well, but my Gears version is 0.5.32.0 (which is not the one indicates on the link above).
I concur that it's annoying because you loose all your data, and of course, it happens mostly when you're offline.

agirouard, it's a problem starting with that version, but it continues to be a problem with later versions. We'll post on our status blog when we have a verified fix.
In the meantime, it's best to keep it disabled.
