How to fix Error 2032 on Windows 10 with Firefox 40?

[RobvR]

I just updated the Adobe Flash player to 18.0.0.232. This was the first Flash Player update since I installed Windows 10 a few days ago. Now I get the error code 2032 when I go to watch a streamed video feed like http://srv03.sittyweb.nl/~sitecam202/site_component.php?uname=UHJvUmFpbA%3D%3D&cid=NDk3 in my default browser Firefox version 40.0.

Earlier today I checked the same feed with the prefious version of the player 18.0.0.203 and firefox 39.0.3 and that worked just fine / as expected.

I have tried to reïnstall the 18.0.0.203 version of the Flash Player, but then got the same Error 2032.

Any Ideas on how to fix the Error 2032?

This is happening to us too. We are failing on various POST requests, but not consistently (some work, some don't).

The same flash code works fine on Safari, Chrome, and IE.

It fails only with Firefox 40 on Windows and MacOS

We are developing online game.

And for our users some of the GET requests failed with 2032 error. We didn't change anything.

It started to happen after update to Flash Player 18.0.0.232 and Firefox 40 on Windows 7

Hi,

Could you try clearing your cache to see if that helps?

No, it does not. My flash based web app is still experiencing the 2032 errors.

What's interesting is that the status code is 200, which seems to mean the server responded successfully, maybe FF barfed on parsing the response somehow (XML in this case).

I have found similar problem:

- Firefox 40

- Any flash player (tried debug and normal from 17.last to the actual)

- 10 BINARY http post request (zlib compressed JSON objects), chained (one is loaded, other is requested).

5-7 request succesful, the next returns 2032 error. If the requests are not compressed - simple JSON text request -, it works. In other browsers (tried IE and Chrome) also works. With FF 39 it works too.

Hi, guys.

I found the solution for this issue.

It is a bug in async plugin initialization in firefox since version 40

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194958

You should go to about:config

And change the property dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit to false

It is not a solution for your users though, but could be.

The firefox team confirmed they will make a regression soon.

[rblaa]

Yes! That works. Thanks so much!

[Nancsibacsi]

Works me too, thank you!

We just started getting this error (2032) as well with our Flash app and the 18.0.0.232 update. We're seeing 2032 across all browsers: IE (11.x), FF (40.0.x) and Chrome. Disabling ActiveX, as suggested in other links, makes it worse. For me personally, Windows 8.1 with IE 11.0.9600 does not work, but FF 40.0.2 and Chrome 44.0.2403.155 m do work.

Has anyone successfully contacted Adobe paid support for help with this?

I'm totally stuck on where to find the about:config part.  I found an About area under HELP in Firefox but no config area.  I'm also getting this error across all browsers.  I've cleared all caches, reinstalled Flash, refreshed Firefox... nothing worked.

You type about:config into the address bar.

[WhoopsieDayze]

Thank you for the reply Pwillener.  I tried changing the setting to false, but still no luck with getting the flash working.
