The convention is to put files like plugins in /usr/lib/<app>/plugins/. But 
that is just that - a convention and that can change with time and across 
distros. 64-bit systems use /usr/lib64/<app>/plugins. Upstream installers 
like npsqueakregister should take in a list of paths for placing links to 
squeak plugin. This allows distro packagers or sysadmins to override them 
(with say /opt/<app>/plugins) without having to patch scripts.

I can make a patch for npsqueakregister if there is any interest.

If no path list is given, 
globbing /usr/{local/lib,lib}/{firefox,mozilla,netscape}/plugins is a safe 
bet.
