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.
