Wondering if this can be configured. While I see nothing in the LO
configuration for help, off-line help in Mageia has always opened in a
popup window, not in the browsers. Just tested this with LO 24.2.7.2
and 26.2.0.1, both installed from the Mageia 9 and 10 repositories,
respectively.

The icon on the help window border identifies it as soffice.bin. Having
that window open adds one open file to the running soffice.bin process
according to the process monitor.

One difference is that I have only the Spanish-language help package
installed, not English. I am running the Gtk3 version in Enlightnement
sessions on X11.
