Ctrl + mouse wheel zoom broken, Flash Player reset to too small for me.

Question

Win7 64-bitFirefox 59.0.1 (64-bit) after which my games reset themselvesFlash Player v29? (updated about 10 hours ago)For several years (seriously) my Flash Player has been zoomed to fit my window vertically.  If something happened to reset it then Ctrl + wheel fixed it.  After updating Firefox the other day suddenly my games were back to their original sizes and Ctrl + wheel no longer works.  Mozilla forum expert says it's not a Firefox issue but offered tons of research for me to check out.  Please note that Ctrl + wheel works to zoom everything around the player's frame, but not the frame itself.  Based on a post here I unchecked the hardware acceleration with no success.  I have 4 links for you:Mahjong Slide | Free Online Mahjong Games WOW Connect | Free Online Mahjong Games FreePlaySolitaire - Alternations Play Bloons Tower Defense 5 - BTD 5 - Ninja Kiwi, Creators of the best free online TD games on the web - Ninja Kiwi I use these and other games to keep my aging brain challenged, so I feel nearly desperate for help.  Please.Thank you for your time and efforts!

This works fine for me, using the same config.

What you're trying to accomplish is to zoom the entire page. This means that you need to tell Firefox to zoom the page in and out.

If you put the mouse cursor over the game, and/or click on it, then the game has focus, and those mouse events are going to get consumed by the game. It's up to the game to handle them, but a.) the game doesn't have control over the entire page, so it can't zoom it, and b.) that input could reasonably be used for actual gameplay.

Instead, if you place the mouse cursor on the surrounding page and then attempt to zoom with ctrl-mousewheel (or ctrl + / - ), then Firefox is going to get those events and zoom the page accordingly.
