Description: I would like to see an option to always open online help if there is no offline help installed without this annoying pop up. Steps to Reproduce: Press help button, for example in Update LibreOffice dialogue Actual Results: No offline help installed pops up Expected Results: Set a tick or some LibreOffice option so I don't see this pop up ever again (only once), if there is no offline help installed Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Solution 1: A solution would be a remember-the-choice question with a checkbox in the dialog. A checkbox in Tools > LibreOffice > General > Help could be added to set/unset this check mark if the user wants to set his/her choice back. Solution 2: Only the first time in a LibreOffice session the not-installed dialog appears.

Furthermore the option to revert the decision is needed anyway, meaning tools ... > help is mandatory.)

That doesn’t need to be an extra check box; it could be a setting in Expert Configuration. This directly runs counter-intuitive to our effort to simplify the Options pages.

Works as expected, though this dialog is terribly ugly. Center aligned headline, text (title, secondary_text) and checkbox makes no sense.
