Recently installed the blue Firewalla. Having issues opening YouTube and Owlet apps. When using phone you have to turn off WiFi to start the program. Once started you can turn WiFi back on and it works. Unfortunately, that won't work on laptops or tablet since they don't have cell service. Verified it was the Firewalla by unplugging it. Tried turning off Active Protect and removing the few blocks I had added with no luck.

  Please check the rules button, and see if you have anything blocked there.  If you do, try to pause them.

  Correct, I blocked a Google service at www.googleapis.com. Saw an article where this could be leveraged by hackers so tried blocking it but that caused this problem.

  googleapis.com is a place where some of the google api's (or services) can be accessed by developers.  Without, very likely many of the Android functions will not work too well.
