Just recently when I click to play a YouTube video it opens with the YouTube app. It use to just play in Firefox, which plays much better than the YouTube app.

I tried the Firefox YouTube add on. It kept the video in the browser rather than opening in the YouTube app, but the video is just a black screen with a moving circle in the middle. I had no problems with this until I recently cleared some app data and caches.
