Steps to reproduce:
Searched for help on keyboard shortcuts.
Actual results:
The page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts with help opened in a web browser.
Expected results:
Help should not open an online page, but should open a local file that was shipped with Tunderbird, e.g. located in /usr/share/doc/thunderbird such as /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/en_US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts.html or /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/en_UK/kb/keyboard-shortcuts.html or /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/kb/nl/keyboard-shortcuts.html
The advantages of this are:
- the help information is also available when working offline
- no internet activity occurs, which is possibly a security risk or might reveal unwanted online activity
- version specific help can be offered, currently help offered is identical independent of the version of Thunderbird being used

Sorry, please ignore my previous comment. Content-wise, if this was implemented, there should be some sync in place.
