each time I pressed on a video link it either opens in the grey Firefox player or asks me which player to choose. I used to choose any player I wanted and choose once. Today by mistake I choose always for the video player. Now I can't change it or choose any other player or even play in the Firefox player. I don't seem to find any option to reset this anywhere, even in the app manager in the settings. I'm using Samsung galaxy note 2 with jellybean 4.1.2 please help me.

The always open with an app setting is a Android setting. You want to "clear defaults" for the app you selected. The steps are very similar to the link below. Except instead of clearing the defaults for the browser you will be clearing the default of the Media player you selected.
