 Using Tor Browser 7.0a3, I visited a page that had a video ad (happened to
 be [https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/04/after-nintendo-switch-does-the-
 3ds-have-a-future/ this one]) and got a banner about PulseAudio being
 required:
 [[Image(banner.png)]]
 I clicked the "Learn how" button, and it led me to this page, which is 404
 "Page Not Found".
 https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/52.1.0/Linux/en-US/fix-common-audio-
 and-video-issues ([https://archive.fo/BCXOW archived copy])

 After you have clicked the button once, you can make it appear again by
 setting the pref `media.decoder-doctor.MediaCannotInitializePulseAudio
 .button-clicked` to false.
