PLUGINS


For using plugins in surf, first determine your running architecture. Then get the
appropriate plugin for that architecture and copy it to /usr/lib/browser-plugins or
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins. Surf should load them automatically. If you want to use a
32bit plugin on a 64bit system, nspluginwrapper(1) will help you.
