The three biggest advantages I've discovered so far are that:

1. I've been using Firefox for years, so I'm much more familiar with its features and comfortable using it.
   
2. I can use Ctrl+F to search for references to a subject like "font" or "grid" or "layer", especially in a long page like the main Table of Contents.
   
3. When I encounter a link to some distant page in the manual, I can pop open a new tab and check out the new page without losing my place on the old page.
   

4. When you help someone inf a forum, you can give  link to the page.

OTOH, when you are the kind of person who clicks at random in a UI, you can get to the proper help page quickly. But do these people ever RTFM?
