in addition to flv links of YouTube videos, other sites with video links starts to download video instead to playing video inside browser or asking to open a native android app set to handle video files.

We've had some trouble with YouTube recognizing the Tablet version of Firefox for Android.

Your browser identifies as "Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0" YouTube is looking for Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0

We are working on resolving this shortly by forcing Tablets to use the Mobile identifier for YouTube. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786623

Hopefully we can get this fix in your hands shortly.
