It seems my experience was somewhat different.  First my environment: an 
old Linux installation (pre GLIBC_2.1.3) and Mozilla 1.1:

0. I unpacked the binary packages, but installed the plugins in 
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins and squeak in ~/.mozilla/thorn/<something>/squeak

1. The compiled binaries wouldn't work because of the library issue so I 
rebuild the squeak VM and the npsqueak.so glue.

2. It sort of seems to work, but the plugin test at 
http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/%7Ebert/squeak/plugin/test/plugintest.html 
ended up with an Error box: "Error: Error loading 'plugintest.sts'. 
 However, pointing mozilla to 
http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/%7Ebert/squeak/plugin/test/plugintest.sts 
gave me a browser wide squeak window running the plugin, so it seems 
that it doesn't get the prefix correctly.

I managed to get the world menu up, but after having loaded the latest 
updates from server and save and quit, squeak seemed to have lost its 
plugin awareness, so this apparently isn't the way to go about it.
