Confirmed on the same build.

The Firefox help is still sort of a work in progress though, and is to be
polished sooner or later anyway (the theme has to be changed, among other
things) so I'm sure this'll get fixed before 1.0.

I wonder if there's a metabug for Firefox Help? I can't seem to find anything.

I see no errors if I select File | Work Offline. Could be related to the
fetching of Help images.

When working offline, I still get errors on the first selection of "Using
Mozilla Firefox" and "Managing Cookies" and cannot produce anymore after the
initial selections.  I did not notice any of the errors from expanding and
contracting.

No, Firefox Help is done. Other than the skin problem, everything else should be
fine with it. I'll cook up a quick patch soon.

I've noticed another JavaScript error and this one has not been fixed.  If you
try and drag any pictures or links, you get the following error:

Error: nsDragAndDrop is not defined

I am using the following build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040725
Firefox/0.9.1+
