OOOPS !!
My mistake
I put Firefox in its own directory and started it with "firefox"
I found out here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77341 that I should have started it with "exec /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "$@"
This makes all the difference but I don't know why . Guess it is running the shell file first ?
Hope Nooby and Semme will forgive me wasting their time.
Lost UTube and other video playing
Hmm I thought it was solved but it isn't
Just fiddling I brought a new shortcut for Firefox onto the desktop . Edited it and it was linked to just "firefox" without the shell script start up.
I used it to open firefox and it went to my home page and also played a Utube video perfectly.
So I am at a loss to explain this now?

Ty, it only shows from where my executable's called. Note mine doesn't go through run-mozilla.sh and videos play fine.
If I plug: ldd /usr/lib/firefox/firefox she'll shows the libraries..
To make sense of it all you'd need to know from where your non-working executable was called from, you know.. prior to the change you made in "defaultbrowser." Reset that'n, from a shell load htop (grab the title bar once launched, pitch the whole window left until you're showing only processes, then extend the rt window bar rt to expose paths)..
Based on both files playing video- I think the key aspect is that it's called from its own lib..
How your system was calling it is for you to share..
