In Fx3 enter the following in the url bar:

about:plugins | Enter

That will show you each plugin that is installed. Now to fine the Totem
plugin (for instance) you'll see that the file name is
'libtotem-basic-plugin.so' so open a terminal and do:

locate libtotem-basic-plugin.so

That will show you where the actual plugin is located.

If you are using a combination mplayer/realplayer:
RealPlayer 9

    File name: mplayerplug-in-rm.so

you are likely to find it in 3 places:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.so
/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.so
and a mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt in ~/,mozilla/plugins if you have a plugins
folder in your profile directory.

If you are looking for where Fx3 (Ubuntu version) gets all of it's
default preinstalled plugins from, look in
/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins.
