Rather strange. I installed 'Gears.xpi' from the Google Gears website into Firefox 3.5.5Pre (next bug fix version coming out) and checked out the link you posted and it loads up fine, pops up the Gears dialog box that asks if I want to allow the site and I added a few words to the sample database, no problem. Seems like it should run on 3.5.4 if it runs on a dev build of the next release.
You're not running the 64 bit versions of Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox 3.5.4 are you? If so, Google does not make a 64 bit version of Gears. You have to install the 32 bit version of Firefox in order to have Gears support.
This is the only reason I can think of for Gears not to be working.
