I've always put plugins, regardless of the browser, in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for 32-bit systems and 32-bit plugins, or /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins for 64-bit systems and 64-bit plugins.

Chrome has its own version of the Adobe Flash player. On my Fedora17
box it belongs to the google-chrome-stable package:
$ locate flash | grep \.so$ | grep -v BAK
/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libflashlo.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
$ rpm -qf /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
google-chrome-stable-24.0.1312.52-175374.i386
