Got the answer for myself. :)

The key issue is we missed "helpURI" attribute for element "prefpane". If we add the following line to prefpane, everything will be fine.

helpURI="chrome://browser/locale/help/help.rdf"

That looks like an irrelevant attribute to me so still think it's a bug of firefox.
