The comments about the "helpfile" being useless seemed to be a broader 
statement than just about Tabbed Browsing. But as I'm using a build 
later than Moz 1.0 (a Netscape build, though), I had forgotten that the 
contents were to come for the Tabbed Browsing section. There is content 
about the subject in recent NS builds (possible in the NS 7.0 beta).

The UI and the help content are obviously out of synch in Mozilla. At 
least one reason is that a doc schedule is not taken into account when 
Mozilla releases are scheduled. Many features and UI changes land late 
in a cycle, but there's no time added on to account for documentation 
(of the end-user variety) of those features. There's an inevitable lag 
between the time a feature appears in a build and help associated with 
the feature, yet in Mozilla milestone releases (and even major ones like 
1.0), end-user docs are not considered as part of the equation in 
establishing when the release happens.
