Right now calls to help() from the console take you to this page:

It would be nice to detect arguments and do an mdn search if arguments are detected:

We should have a MDN command for gcli instead. (we are merging gcli commands into the webconsole).

That works for me, and then doesn't conflict with the gcli help command. This could easily be prototyped as an addon?

See bug 768469 for info on the mdn gcli command.

This could be an entry on the command pallette (Bug 1603713)
