Adobe Flash games and buttons super small in Firefox

I recently got a new computer and I've noticed certain Adobe Flash games or other features of Adobe Flash don't load to the proper size that they used to. There is room on the screen to be bigger but it just looks like the game or features have shrunk.

I am running Windows 8.1 and have the latest versions of both Firefox and Adobe Flash. I've tried going back to past versions of FF and Flash; hasn't worked. I tried FF in Safe Mode and resetting it but those didn't work either. They worked fine on my previous computer (5 years older and running Windows Vista). I also tried resizing the pages but the games/images stay small in proportion to the resizing. I have loaded the same problem pages/games in Chrome and IE without the errors reoccurring so there has to be some combo of problems between FF and Flash. On another note... not every game running has this problem. x_x

Here's some links to some screenshots of my problem: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/chibi_ryoko/gameproblem1_zps4e5982f5.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/chibi_ryoko/gameproblem2_zpsd3cb90f3.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/chibi_ryoko/gameproblem3_zps523c0487.png

Maybe something went wrong when I switched over my Firefox from my previous computer?

Did you try to right-click in the Flash player area to see if you can restore the full size?

Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

  • Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings
    • Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site
    • Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data

Flash Website Storage Settings panel:
