Reassigning to Matt, who I'm assuming will be fixing this. Or would it be saari?

Yuck. I don't have a clue how to fix this, but I guess it's mine. (Sob!)
I'm betting that Matt doesn't think this is his. But he surely has a better chance of fixing it than I do!

In that case, handing it over to saari. ;)

Guys, I'm too doomed to be tracking this down. It doesn't sound like an XPToolkit bug.

Target Milestone: M13
I can't bring up help at all in my build on Mac (in the browser or in Composer). Is there another bug for me to add a dependency?
Depends on: 14346
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
moving to M14 due to dependency

Build 2000-02-07-08M14: NT4, Linux 6.0, Mac 8.5.1 Reopening There is a problem when accessing Help|Feedback Please! It overwrites the Composer contents. Yet Select Help|Release Notes opens a Browser window and displays the Release Notes as expected.
