The short answer is: as David wrote, the default url is http://lilypond.org/doc/stable This is currently redirecting to the old stable, because LilyPond .htaccess file was not updated. There's an open MR here: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1815 As soon as it's merged and uploaded to lilypond.org, Frescobaldi should show 2.24 manuals. The answer to the other questions is more complex. We are working on it... I will reply to your question in the Frescobaldi mailing list.

I don't use F~ so I don't know what the Preferences or Configuration
Dialogue would expect to be fed with.
However, I do see¹ /usr/share/frescobaldi/frescobaldi_app/lilydoc/manager.py
contains these lines:
# split in local and non-local ones (local are preferred)
user_prefixes = []
local = []
remote = []
for p in user_paths:
user_prefixes.append(p) if os.path.isdir(p) else remote.append(p)
remote.sort(key=util.naturalsort)
# now find all instances of LilyPond documentation in the local paths
def paths(path):
"""Yields possible places where LilyPond documentation could live."""
yield path
path = os.path.join(path, 'share', 'doc', 'lilypond', 'html')
yield path
yield os.path.join(path, 'offline-root')
def find(path):
"""Finds LilyPond documentation."""
for p in paths(path):
if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(p, 'Documentation')):
return p

and later:
urls = []
urls.extend(map(QUrl.fromLocalFile, local))
urls.extend(map(QUrl, remote))
if not urls:
urls.append(QUrl("http://lilypond.org/doc/stable;))
return urls
so it appears to have a fairly thorough hunt for the docs.
(I assume urls.extend is reading some Configuration data.)
¹ F~ 3.1.3 from Debian buster. I don't remember whether I ever ran it;
perhaps I replicated someone's post. I haven't downloaded F~ on bullseye.
Cheers,
David.
Documentation viewer in Frescobaldi
Frescobaldi 3.2 on Linux (EndeavorOS, and Ubuntu), no matter what URL or local file I put in the Lilypond Documentation preferences it does not work. If I use a URL at lily[pond.org I get an Apache error. If trying to add a local copy the index.html file simply does not appear in the browser dialog when I go to the appropriate directory. I am mystified. Any clues? When I install Frescobaldi it does show doc for 2.22 online but nowhere do I see this URL in the preferences, so how does it even get there? Hardwired? Does not seem right.
