Details
The help system's search feature (Help -> Help Contents -> Search) on
Firefox/Mozilla should be more lenient on search terms with alternate spellings.
There are many variants of common search terms and newbies may not be completely
versed on the correct spelling on all of them.
e.g.,
plugins, plug-ins
popups, pop-ups
webpage, web page
website, web site
address bar, location bar
homepage, home page
customize, customise
etc.
P.S. Perhaps a search-as-you-type feature could be implemented? Such that "plug"
returns "plug-ins"?

The solution is on the way... Firefox should have it by now. Duping against the
Mozilla bug.
