Hey John, I am sorry to hear that on mobile the Firefox for Android is asking to check the proxy. Does this happen on multiple networks?

If there is a proxy it should be listed in about:networking. Plug that into your url and see if there is a proxy listed.

There is also a nifty add on Mobile Proxy that might be able to list them.

Hi...thanks for the email...however I did solve the issue sort of...it was an add-on from Mozilla called "Pan 2.6.5".I'ts supposed to block Ads and manage Proxy...I disabled it and now Firefox opens Youtube...which is fine but when I select a video to watch , Firefox switches to the Youtube "APP" browser for the rest of the sessions...wierd?...all other browsers do not switch to the Youtube APP browser...still could be some setting somewhere.*john
