Hi-I have tried that offline, -my browser opens and says: "Offline mode
Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web.
Uncheck "Work Offline" in the File menu, then try again"
 
I can access ?help that way, or pages I've been to before having gone offline, but nothing new.

Yes, just type ?topic and your web brwoser opens and displays the help 
file. Note that the address beginning "http://127.0.0.1" is on your 
local machine, hence you can stay offline.
