Video links used to open within the browser. After my last update/cleaning, those same links create a download prompt. How do i get video links to open in the browser instead of asking for a download?

Hello,

If you find a link to a video file in a website Firefox's default behaviour will be to let you download the video. If you want to instead view the video in the browser you will need to use a plugin.

Please see more detail in the article here: Use plugins to play audio, video, games and more

Is it possible that in your clean up you removed the Windows Media Player or Quicktime plugin?
