Open google maps, youtube, video etc links with app instead of browser?

According to the search maps and youtube won't ask if you want to use an app to open the links because google doesn't see firefox as a mobile browser (which is weird given that it will always load the mobile youtube site...)
But the same thing happens when I want to watch streams from other websites. Instead of asking me if I want to open media files using an app it will automatically use the built in player. But I want to open media with a different player (mx player) as I don't really like the firefox player.
How can I have firefox ask me to pick an app/browser to open certain things like google map links, youtube links, media file link (mp4 etc)?

My biggest bugbear with the Play Store opening in the browser is that it's slower than the native app, so waiting for the page to load before given the option to launch the app isn't a lot of help. Would it be possible to have an option to automatically load such pages in the associated app? Perhaps when using the address bar icon it could ask "Do you want to do this automatically in future? Yes/No/No and don't ask again".

    Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

    Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.

  • Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion?  My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites.  Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

    Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion?  My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites.  Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

    Thanks for the speedy reply.  I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not.  So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible.  I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon.  Again, thanks for the help.  I will download the latest version of Flash.

  • I have an Imac.  When I click to open google maps a permeable but dark screen covers my monitor screen and I get a note that tells me to shut down the computer and restart it.  This hasn't helped.  Everything else seems to work fine.

    When I attempt to open google maps in Firefox on my Imac, a dark screens descends over my monitor screen and a note tells me there's been an error, no number is noted, and that I need to turn off and restart my computer.  This doesn't help, but everything else works, including google maps in other browsers.

    This is a kernel panic.
    First verify that Firefox is fully updated including all extensions.
    If this fails to fix....
    Restart in Safe Boot mode then open Firefox.
    *  shutdown
    *  start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
    *  after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
    *  keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
    *  now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
    *  eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT
    *  login and open Firefox.
    If you continue to have problems see this article for more options to fix.

    how can i install google maps on an iphone 3gs with latest os

    Actually Apple has developed its own maps and no more have it in sync with google as it did before so now apple has its own mapping software.

  • Can't open Google and Youtube

    I use Safari 7.0.5
    Can't open google or youtube. It keeps saying I need to update flash player.
    and I can't use chat on Facebook this one keeps saying This message failed to send. Click to send again.
    Then I tried to reload page. It wouldn't be able to open Facebook at all.
    I clear cache and reset safari. I reboot router and my mac book pro (version. 10.9.4)
    I have no idea. Please help.

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.  Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • All of a sudden I cannot open Google Maps, what could be wrong?

    Today  I went to open google maps the page would not load (nothing comes up, just a blank screen). This is happening for a few other websites and I can't figure out what could be wrong. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!
    Thank you

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My website doesn't open/start youtube video, after link clicked. In Firefox only.

    On my Joomla project (running under xampp local host) has a link to a youtube video, which worked fine, but not anymore. After clicking it, the resized pop-up window (java script) doesn't open the video. Window remains black and status beam at the window botttom shows 'ready'.
    This problem wasn't there in former Firefox releases (3.6.. now) and doesn't occur in ms-IE, Safari and other browsers.
    Please let some one fix this.

    Can you post a link to your website?
    Do you see any errors in the Tools > Error Console about that problem?
    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Street View (google maps) not working on Firefox with SNA

    I have a problem with Firefox when trying to use Street View in Google Maps. It basically kills the browser by being extremely slow. Now, this happens only when using SNA acceleration (default), but not with UXA or GLAMOR (just removed on latest update or xf86-video-intel). Everything else works fast and good with SNA, including WebGL in Firefox. Moreover, with Chromium I don't have this issue: Street View works fine with SNA.
    This is an Intel based laptop with Gen5 Intel graphics (and in case it matters, I use KDE desktop):
    # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SNA
    [455944.801] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Ironlake (gen5) backend
    Anyone else noticed this? Any idea of what can be the problem?

  • Imac freezes when listening to NPR for halfway through Youtube videos, etc

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my iMac, and other post didn't seem to touch on this exact subject:
    Everytime I am listening to NPR radio (online newscast stream), the stream will freeze repeatedly, thus essentially disabling me to listen. Also, this will occasionally happen when watching video on Youtube, Vimeo, etc. My iMac doesn't itself freeze, just the newscast/video. Is this a problem with my computer?
    I installed an extra 4GB of RAM, thinking this would help, but to no avail. In fact, it seems worse. Anyone know what might be causing this?
    Thanks in advance,
    _ j

    It's probably nothing to do with your iMac but the stream coming from the provider. Where I'd begin looking is your w-fi settings. For example if you live in an area with lot's of wi-fi networks you could be competing for bandwidth with your neighbors. This can be easily solved by changing the wi-fi channel. Most wi-fi networks use channels 5 or 6 as their default channels and most users are too lazy to change the channel although there are 11 to choose from. My recommendation is to download and install iStumbler and see which channels are being used.Then it's a simple matter of changing your channel. If you're using an Apple router (Airport Express, Airport Extreme or Time Capsule) then simply launch Airport Utility and make the change. If you're using a third party router then look in the manual to see how to change channels.

  • Google maps don't work properly with ADF

    Hi!
    I have tried to integrate Google maps with ADF http://blogs.oracle.com/middleware/2010/06/integrating_google_maps_with_adf.html. This tutorial works good, but then I insert the same code in real ADF application Google maps don’t work properly, there are problems with zoom buttons, map doesn’t display right region but shows another one (does it with offset) etc.
    Can be this issues connected with ADF Security? Or there are some other things in my project which doesn’t allow JavaScript to work correctly?

    andrejs,
    I just tried the tutorial (works fine) and the tutorial with ADF security (works fine). It seems to be something more specific to your application than anything else.
