Prevent flash from resizing after zoom

I am using chrome because of this and vastly prefer firefox, so I hope there is an answer...

There are some flash sites where if I zoom in with chrome the flash also stays zoomed out. Those same size, when I zoom out with Firefox, resize to the original display option. This is a problem for some of my vision impaired clients that need larger characters and we are forced to use chrome.

I have looked in the settings in various locations and haven't managed to locate anything that allows the zoom not to resize. It is particularly frustrating that it stops for a second at the new zoom level then resizes itself.

This has happened for the last ... forever of flash and FF updates. It hasn't ever worked with any combination that I can tell.

Any help?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

I'm having trouble visualizing this problem.

In the past, users have posted links to sites where there is a problem in Firefox with zoom and Flash, where the Flash player appears to be a fixed size and zooming the page enlarges or shrink your view of the player (more or less of the player is cut off). For example: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982893#answer-521292 (Forest Temple game as of Jan. 2014)

I can't tell whether you have that issue or something different. Is there a particular page you would want us to look at for discussion?
