Mozilla Help Viewer Project

Welcome to the Mozilla Help System project page. This page describes the development of a basic help viewer in Mozilla and its use as a browser for Mozilla end-user documentation. The viewer includes a simple facility for displaying context-sensitive help, uses RDF to load sets of topics dynamically, and provides navigation functionality for the HTML document it manages.

Firefox Help is part of Firefox since the 0.9 release. A beta version of Thunderbird Help is available on the Installation page. (Note that it won't install in any recent versions of Thunderbird.)
