Howdy forum, I am getting a get flash message when I try to open YouTube video links on Facebook when using my Droid. It used to give me a choice to open the link using the YouTube app. Did I change a setting. I was having trouble before with fb and had to delete and redownload. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing you did. Whenever I click a youtube link in the dolphin browser I get the option to open it in the youttube app or download to the phone so I can play it in a media player. I never checked off the "use this option as a default". I'm guessing you did that and need to check either facebook or the youtube settings out. menukey/applications/manage apps/menukey/filter/show all/youtube...clear default settings.

I'm honestly no sure. Maybe you set your Browser as the default video player by accident?

You can check by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Menu button (soft key) > Filter > All

Now search for the Browser app, and when you find it click it and see if there is a button that says "Clear Defaults". Click that button and that MAY fix your issue.
