Microsoft fixed this, see KB963707

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.

The way this forum works is peculiar to say the least !
The folks who provide solutions such as the one I think you are referring to to are
completely different to those who provide support on this forum.
I am afraid that I have no idea how to contact the former.

This has been posted before actually, but as Martin said none of us can change the
articles and the ones who can never visit the forums as far as I know. It is a nice
effort but the article is not likely to change any time soon.

Oh, now I understand what Martin was trying to say. :)
I was mostly replying to the article because none of the messages attached to
it had linked to the MS KB article. If the answer is somewhere in the forum, I doubt
>90% of the visitors to the article would know or know to search for it, hence my
reply. :)
