Bug Description

Using Ubuntu 9.04, the default homepage in Firefox (set by the ubufox extension) redirects to http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ when the user can connect to the Internet.

When I get there and click the "Ubuntu help" link, it leads me to "https://help.ubuntu.com/" where I must select which version of Ubuntu I'm using. The navigation discarded the version information that was provided by ubufox.

Couldn't you change the "Ubuntu help" link in "http://start.ubuntu.com/[version]/" to point directly to "https://help.ubuntu.com/[version]/index.html"?

Ubufox delivers the user to the correct page (Start Page). It would be up to the Start Page to link to the proper help page.
