nav_help.xhtml contains a description of the proxy preference panel, duplicate
of the one in cs_nav_prefs_advanced.xhtml.
Since bug 279054 was fixed, they are out of sync: I think it would be nice if we
could just remove the duplicate and reference directly the description in
cs_nav_prefs_advanced.

Reproducible: Always

You're not intending to remove the entire section, are you? You might want to
leave the basic settings with the existing link to advanced preferences.

Maybe we can just mention WPAD and redirect to advanced preferences if it
doesn't work/isn't supported? That will ensure the average user has a quickstart
and possibly doesn't ever need to investigate the details. I'm open to comments
on how to handle that: it's just scary to keep two descriptions in different
files for the same thing.

The rest of nav_help.xhtml has duplicate descriptions in (Cache for example). I
would just go for getting it in sync for the moment.
