You'd need 'make install-plugins' to install the plugins.
Also, the default install policy for the plugins is bound
to user, not system nor prefix.

See ./configure --help:

  --with-plugins-install=system|user|prefix
                          Policy for plugins install. Default: user.

Copying the entire contents of $prefix/lib/gnash :)
Just run 'make install-plugins', if the NPAPI plugin
was built it'll get installed in ~/.mozilla/plugins
or something along those lines (make dumpconfig should
tell you).

NOTE: the NPAPI plugins is enabled whenever you enable the GTK gui
      (on by default)
