Comment about Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension:

Don't bother with this long procedure, it is out of date and the page needs updating. Instead, click on the link in the page to Brad Abrams blog. Half way down he mentioned a 5/2009 update. Click on the link and it will take you to an update from MS which can be manually downloaded and installed which will re-enable the uninstall function for this add-on. See: Update to .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for the .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 for Firefox

Okay, I've successfully removed the .net framework assistant. But, won't MS just put it back with their next "security" update? Will I have to delete the .net fw assist again and again? Thanks

It is always a possibility that MS update will install it again but at least now it can be easily and simply uninstalled with the MS fix. I would think that future .NET updates will include this fix. Actually, MS doesn't roll out .NET updates that often and they may not always need to include the Firefox extension. Just keep an eye on your Firefox add-on manager once in a while like you should be doing and you will be safe. The annoyance was that you couldn't easily uninstall this thing, that annoyance at least has been fixed.

Dee's update worked for me. Thank you Dee! It requires a couple of Firefox restarts and one Windows reboot
