Blake plans to make the Help window and content not suck.

Target Milestone: --- → Firefox1.0beta
I hope you guys realize that the latest Help code isn't on the trunk.
Also, what specifically sucks? I thought the help viewer is pretty good in comparison to Seamonkey Help. Are you working on layout or the viewer in general?
R.J. - we very much appreciate all your work. I should clarify that "make <x> not suck" is just kind of the traditional way of saying "There's some undefined work to do in the help area, get a bug for it and we'll figure it out later." (For example, there was a "Make 1.0 not suck" tracking bug ;) The work I see immediately is to update the icons to be consistent with the browser, and to update the help content to match what will be in the upcoming Firefox guidebook. (It's not, in any way, a total overhaul of the help content. But we just want them to match.)

Make sure that if you're using any of the older help content, that you checkout firebirdhelp off of the mozdev CVS server off of the branch FIREFOX_HELP_1_0_BRANCH. Does this include extension manager/theme manager documentation? Nilson Cain is writing some new extension manager documentation. Should I tell him to wait? I'd love to have the icons use the same as the browser. I don't think that ben (or whoever wrote the help skin) made the images be read directly from the browser skin. That needs to be changed.
Related to making Help and the browser window share toolbar icons is bug 198450 (text size button should be addable to the toolbar).
Attached patch Make the toolbar button be right (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This should fix the toolbar button problem.
