Using Windows10, when I click link that uses Flash I get "invalid content specified error #2048" but when using Chrome, no issues, any ideas?
Using Windows10, when I click link that uses Flash I get "invalid content specified error #2048" but when using Chrome, no issues, any ideas? I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled but have the same situation, runs fine on Chrome but not on FireFox. I am running FireFox 45.0.2 (en-US). This just started about a week ago and I have been clicking links on this financial website for about a year without issues. I called the website owner and was told they test the Flash videos on Firefox and Chrome and on both browsers the Flash videos are working fine.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

You're welcome, good to hear some basic maintenance got the job done!
I, too, have run into situations where "automatic" was less than so; sometimes antivirus automation only updates databases, and sometimes it just outright has a brainfart with version checks.

Hey there, sounds like a local issue alright. That error points to connection blocking, based on what I can find online, so I suspect your security software could use an update (not just the databases but the program) or resetting (remove Firefox/Flash from rules, re-add).
After updating your security software, go through https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to make sure everything else besides Flash is up to speed. Firefox itself has updated to 46.0, check here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/.
If that's not enough, try a hail mary with Safe Mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode.
Well said.
Hello Phoxuponyou, Thanks for the input. I thought my security software was updating automatically so I followed your links to be sure all else was up to date. Same problem. I started in Sate Mode. Same problem. THEN, I went and checked the Avast Anitivirus software and found it was out of date. I updated the Avast anitivirus software, did a restart and now Flash in Firefox is working fine. Thanks for the help.
