Flash Video Issues with ICS Non-Stock Browsers

I seem to be having issues when using Dolphin HD and Dolphin for Pad when viewing Flash videos. I find that when I tap on the full screen button on the video, it causes the browser to crash and I have to restart it. So far, this issue appears to be with the non-stock browsers so far. The stock browser seems to be able to handle Flash videos well.

I did upgrade Adobe Flash to the latest version. You need for it to work. I can view embedded Flash videos on the page fairly well. It's just when going full screen that causes the browsers to crash. This means that I will probably have to use the stock browser from now on instead of Dolphin. I guess the stock browser is optimised for ICS, but the Dolphin browsers are not.
 
It seems to be happen with the stock browser as well, but not as often. So far, the stock browser seems to handle videos the best. Chrome Beta is not bad. The Dolphin Browsers and Opera seems to be the worse after ICS.
 
I have noticed the exact same issues with Dolphin HD. Can't get Chrome to play Flash videos at all though.
 
Same here. Dolphin HD and Opera cannot play full screen flash with ICS and the quality of full screen flash with the stock browser is terrible, so bad I've went back to using my netbook for video.
Before ICS Dolphin worked fine and the quality was excellent.
 
There is a new version of Dolphin HD. It can play full screen Flash videos without crashing now. The problem I have with it is that when you exit the full screen video, it always comes out in portrait orientation. I have my Eee Pad docked most of the time, so it ends up in the wrong orientation. I have emailed Dolphin about the issue.
