Flash player on Xperia P ICS

I have Sony Xperia P came with ICS. What flash player apps do you recommend most? I can't view flash contents using either the native browser or 3rd party (Firefox and Google Chrome) browsers. Thanks!

First get the apk from here and install it on your Phone (scroll down to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and pick the latest one).

After that you can try the default browser (internet), the Dolphin Browser which i find very good at playing flash content and the Opera if you prefer (Chrome doesn't support flash).

Thank you for the answer, that really helped. I'm just new to this Android phone. As you mentioned, it works better in Opera than Firefox. I'm just curious as to why Google Chrome doesn't support Flash. Anyway, I thank you again.

I'll try downloading Dolphin. By the way I have another question; do you recommend installing task killers? Do they really improve battery life?

Nope. They do the exactly opposite thing.
