Flash Player doesn't scale on HiDPI Systems

I'm running the latest Flash player (14) and the latest version of Firefox (30) on Windows 8.1. Windows scaling is set to 200%. Firefox itself scales fine, but the Flash player doesn't. I know this is probably not Firefox fault but rather Adobe's. But somehow other browser vendors were able to address this problem. As you can see in the screenshot, both IE and Chrome render the embedded player just fine, but in Firefox the player is a lot smaller.

I have the same issue, and it is a browser issue. Like you mentioned, Chrome and Internet Explorer scale all Flash content properly. I have tried Firefox, Nightly, and Cyberfox (Firefox-based) and they all have the same problem. It isn't a dealbreaker for me right now but it is very annoying and I'd love it if the developers at Mozilla could look into fixing it (possibly in collaboration with Adobe). Also, even using the Flash beta (version 16) doesn't work.
