That should be /usr/lib/mozilla-xxx/plugins, although I personally find 
it preferable to "mkdir /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" and 
then link the .so file in there instead.

It appears that mozilla (at least recent versions) will check that 
directory for plugins just fine, and you won't have to go re-linking 
every time you install a new mozilla.
