Microsoft fixed this back in May. See KB963707 "How to remove the .NET Framework
Assistant for Firefox".
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963707
There, you can download and install the "Update to .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for the
.NET Framework Assistant 1.0 for Firefox".
The overview for that update is:
Overview
In .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, the .NET Framework Assistant enables Firefox to use the
ClickOnce technology that is included in the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework Assistant
is added at the machine-level to enable its functionality for all users on the machine.
As a result, the Uninstall button is shown as unavailable in the Firefox Add-ons
list because standard users are not permitted to uninstall machine-level components.
In this update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and in Windows 7, the .NET Framework Assistant
will be installed on a per-user basis. As a result, the Uninstall button will be
functional in the Firefox Add-ons list. This update will also make this version of
the .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox compatible with future versions of the Firefox
browser. To properly update the .NET Framework Assistant, this update must be applied
while the extension is enabled in Firefox. To remedy the result of installing this
update while the extension was disabled, uninstall the update, re-enable the extension,
and reinstall the update.
Updates to the .NET Framework Assistant may include updates to the Windows Presentation
Foundation Plug-in for Firefox causing it to be enabled upon its initial update.
