Help Documents not firing on El Capitan (was Re: Wiki Landing Page)

[Adrien Monteleone]

I’m using 2.6.16 as well. I don’t think it has ever worked for me though. (not sure exactly which version I started on when I moved to Mac, probably somewhere around 2.6.12 or so.)

I’ll test with private mode off and I’ll also test with other browsers as the default and see what happens. I’ll also test FF with no extensions. One of them might be interfering. (I suspect uBlock Origin as that is usually the culprit when something isn’t working right)
