Well, you have to allow it to use firefox if you want to read the help. You might create a new user and try there.
There's no way that's going to happen. If it wants me to open firefox then it should ask me, and provide the URL it wants to open if I choose to be careful. Do you know where its help is?
No, I don't, I'm not that paranoid :-P My guess it is a local file, but it can be a documentation web site. For the record, on my XFCE desktop it fires a small browser, not firefox, that displays help. I think it is called "yelp". I guess you get firefox because you have the desktop configured that way. You have two options. Run shotwell as a new user, and click help there, allowing firefox to run. Being a new user, it can not leak any information about you. It does not have access to files outside of home. Other, is run xfce, and hope it tries to run "yelp". Third (huh, I said two) is create a virtual machine with virtualbox or vmware, install leap there, run shotwell, and allow it to run firefox. It is contained in the virtual machine, it can not leak anything. Four (huh, one more) is to disconnect the internet cable in your computer before you allow firefox to run. Five (!) locate the script that starts firefox, edit it, and make it print the URL and pause. No, I'm not doing that, it is on you :-P
PS now I'm annoyed with claws as well. Because you send signed messages (for reasons I understand and respect) claws decided I wanted to send a signed reply, despite me never having given it any credentials. Stupid program!
