I would think something like /usr/share/nsplugins as a common path, and
the browsers (iirc, Firefox and Mozilla can be told at compile time
about such folder to look for plugins at runtime) to be pointed to such
directories. That way one does not have to create symlinks to every new
browser one installs after that spell that uses those plugins.
