For Mozilla, I put almost all the plugins in the global plugins directory,
which is mozilla/plugins (where ever mozilla is installed).

Relaunching the browser -> about:plugins shows the current list of plugins
used.  I find user plugins restrictive if/when I swap between root & my
local user.  But that's my caveat ;)
