I wasn't suggesting changing the directory as such, I merely wondered if
we had a standard (defacto or otherwise) since it did not appear that
way when actually checking if the plugins were picked up in Epiphany. 

I'm happy to see that we do infact have an unofficial standard, now we
are still stuck with some issues. I take it since something like the
gnash plugin does install in the correct place not being picked up by
Firefox is a bug then?
