re: Question about 'Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension' Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 3:04 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Olive (2 messages posted) Thanks for all the "don't install .NET then" or "don't use Auto Updates" but this is an adult teaching environment that I manage. Student's need the .NET functionality for some course materials so we have to keep updating .NET, just not the "ClickOnce feature". Why do Microsoft automatically install software to third party applications? If this is such a good "feature" why not just upload to the Mozilla Add-on repository?
