I don't know of a utility to remove it, but there may be one from a reliable source
somewhere. Do NOT have anything to do with a tool you need to purchase to remove
it!
I know how you feel, but it's good to get past that feeling at some point. If you
backup your registry first, all it takes is following those steps, slowly and carefully.
If you know someone who's more comfortable editing the registry, maybe they'd be
willing to help?

Don't bother w/ all these registry steps, there is an update/fix from MS

Don't bother with this long procedure, it is out of date and the page needs updating.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>

Those instr. are not out of date.. they still apply. They don't need updating. That's
not an update "fix". It's an update for .NET. Not everyone will want to update it,
just so they can uninstall it.
I'll repost the command again while I'm at it...Copy and paste the command below
and hit 'Enter'
reg DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions" /v "{20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}"

Not true.... MS has supplied a 'fix' which directly addresses the biggest part of
this problem; that the 'uninstall' button is disabled. It is a small fix just for
the Firefox extension, not .NET as a whole. While the fix doesn't remove the extension,
once installed you can simply go into the Firefox add-on manager and uninstall the
.NET extension.
