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.
