When opening the help system in Firefox with Firebug installed and JavaScript debugging enabled opening a URL such as http://localhost:8081/help/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html can cause a JavaScript Exception "tocView is undefined" to be caught.

This is most likely happening because the content pane loads and the pane starts running a script before the toc view is completely loaded.
