[Bug 857637] [NEW] Online Accounts has no explanation or help menu

 

Public bug reported:

There is no explanation of what the 'Online Accounts' window is for. It
has no help menu, and pressing F1 has no effect.

The window prompts me to 'Select an account' or add an account type of
'Google', but I have no idea what will happen if I do. As a cautious
Internet user, I refuse to proceed without more information about what
this application is designed to do.
