Log:
handbook: remove instructions for NPAPI plugins
- Neither Firefox nor Chrome support NPAPI plugins anymore and as such
the instructions to install them are not applicable.
- Tell users of opera to install the plugin directly rather than
redirect to Firefox's instructions. I have not validated that this
still works. Google shows mixed information for Opera's NPAPI support.
- While here remove an extraneous word 'new'
