F1 has stopped bringing up the help pages... same for Help from the Help menu in the IDE. Anyone else experienced this?

I restarted Firefox (killed through task manager) and it fixed the problem.

F1 stopped working years ago.
Bernie Eccelstone really needs to change the format before everybody loses interest!

Yes, this is happening to me. I've changed the Browser in the tools tab in the preferences. I've also re installed Firefox and changed it back to Firefox but that doesn't help.

Its actually opening notepad when i press F1 or select Help from the Help menu , with this text (obviously the text changes depending on what im highlighting when pressing F1)...

I found the other post about this with the solution.

I had to make a new file with .htm extension, then set its default program to a browser all fixed now

Weirdly, the index is a html file, but the individual commands are htm. Hence the need to realign the associated program as arnzzz mentions.

Just to add another possible issue, that I ran into once.

Some keyboards have an F-Lock key that controls what function the F-Keys perform. If it is not on the right setting, it can also prevent the F1, and other, keys from functioning as expected.

If you navigate to the .htm help files and set the default application to open them as firefox then f1 will start working again.

Cheers.
