I believe that the only plugins that are likely to break are those which dynamically link to C++ shared libraries. Many plugins work in my 3.1 build. It turns out also that flashplayer's problems are simpler than ABI name mangling changes, and I'm working on a hack that allows the existing binary to run in 3.1 builds (bug 154206). If someone else with a 3.1 build and a little time felt like going through all the plugins listed for linux on plugindoc.mozdev.org and figuring out which ones do and don't work, that'd be very helpful info.
