I have more info about Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension:

I read and followed the directions of this article and successfully removed the assistant. However, the next day I found the assistant had returned mysteriously. Luckily I had bookmarked the site, and came back to remove the piece of junk yet again. Before going to bed tonight though, I saw the automatic updates icon in the corner of my computer, and checked it out. This is where I learned that this update is in the "important updates" section from microsoft. I have those set to automatically install around 3am so I don't have to go do it manually once a week. So, after removing it and everything, go to the microsoft update website, and make it check for updates, and when it finds the update, un-check it, and tell it to never show that update again. Then you should be rid of it for good.

Leaving auto updates "on" is really foolish... just asking for trouble.
