Basically anything that requires you to enter your password is available to 
all users. This includes anything installed via synaptic, add/remove, 
apt-get, aptitude. 

Anything installed as a browser plugin/extension which does _not_ ask for 
your password is installed in your own home directory and as such is only 
available for that user.
