Get involved in 'help' sends me to Mozilla page.

Other than the subject title for this post, what makes Fossamail any different from Thunderbird?
GUI is similar (Chrome-look) etc.

Fossamail comes with different defaults (both UI and under-the-hood) and has been rebuilt with a newer compiler and better optimizations than Thunderbird.
Otherwise, there aren't many differences. At least not at this time.

Don't forget, there's also a 64 bit version of FossaMail, while Mozilla will probably never put out a 64 bit TB.

Did notice the UI to be slimmer, more elegant and start up was a bit quicker too.

If this is any indication of improvements over Thunderbird and Firefox.

Cold start:
1. Fossamail = 7 seconds
2. Palemoon = 29 seconds

Warm start:
1. Fossamail = 5 seconds
2. Palemoon = 6 seconds.

What and where is it in about:config to send a user to http://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=33 for Help, rather than Mozilla help?
Thanks, PMFan1

It isn't. It is in the branding files safely locked away in omnija
