Public bug reported:
repro steps:
1. boot the jaunty live cd
(note: you must not have any firefox windows open)
2. click the help icon on the gnome-panel ("white question mark inside blue
circle" icon)
3. the last sentence in the first help document says "Ubuntu has an open and
vibrant community of contributors. Find out how to contribute". The last part
(i.e. "how to contribute") is a HTTP hyperlink, click on that link.
4. firefox opens the HTTP link
5. wait 5 seconds without doing anything
6. the gnome help viewer now becomes gray and unresponsive
(if you close firefox the help viewer becomes responsible so the
problem/bug here is that the gnome help viewer is making a synchronous
call to open firefox... the bugfix probably is a one liner).
To understand the problem in more detail, please look at the attached
screenshot.
