User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; de-de) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0

Firefox does not zoom some of the flash out there like on my site http://jeenaparadies.net or
on http://last.fm (they have a flash media player). I don't know what exactly the
problem is but in my example:

1. the flash uses allowScale=false to crop exactly like the background image
2. the flash has width="100%" and height="139"
3. there is no <embed> only <object>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a object with flash (allowScale=false)
2. zoom the site with cmd +
3. you'll see that the flash will not be zoomed
Actual Results:  
The flash will not be zoomed.

Expected Results:  
The same as with Opera and IE7/8, the flash should zoom too, like all background images, etc.

It is the right behaviour. From Adobe KB:

«A projector's window can always be resized by the end user. The allowscale command determines if the animation's contents are scaled as the window is resized. By default, this option is true. In some cases, scaling animation content is undesirable. For example, bitmap images may become pixelated when the animation is scaled, or frame rate may decrease as screen redraw time increases for larger screen areas. The following script, when attached to a frame or button, will prevent content in the Flash animation from scaling when the application window is resized»

The "projector's window" in this case is the flash frame. I tested it on Opera 9.51 and it works like Fx3
