This is three separate bugs.

First, "Get Help Online" item has existed in Ubuntu since 5.10, but has never been implemented in Launchpad. I think it should not be in Ubuntu, but in the meantime, an easy fix would be to redirect +gethelp to Launchpad's Answers page for the relevant package.

Second, all of Launchpad is served over HTTPS and much of it needn't be. This is bug 46591.

Third, a new Firefox profile shows several useless and counterproductive confirmation alerts when you first visit an HTTPS site. Please report this as a separate bug; upstream it is <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341472>, but (to my non-maintainer eyes) it seems like it would be quite easy to patch the Ubuntu package for a better first-time experience.
