Public bug reported:

If on a new Ubuntu install I have a generic Ubuntu application open (eog is my 
most recent test case) and request Get Help Online, I get (subject to other 
bugs):
 1. A new browser window containing a blank content area, underneath
 2. A popup dialogue warning me that I have requested an encrypted page (!)
 3. When I dismiss that dialogue, I get a rather useless "help and support 
options" page which promised that "soon" this page will contain support 
options.  This assertion does not seem to have proven true.

This is wrong because:
 1. Requesting an encrypted page should not generate a warning (this is a 
firefox bug)
 2. The page should not be encrypted anyway (this makes it less likely to work, 
slower, etc. etc.)  (this is IMO a launchpad bug)
 3. The prominence of the "Get Help Online" menu option suggests that something 
useful will happen when it's requested.  This option should be disabled via 
some central switch somewhere until that is true.  (This is yet another task 
for this bug but I'm not sure exactly which package it should be in.)
