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


Thank you so much for the info you provided!  I just found this article and followed 
the removal instructions to the letter.  In the last step I checked FF add-ons and 
found the Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant extension had not been removed using 
this procedure.  I chose to uninstall it at this point.

Now I'm wondering if the validity of this article still exists today? Meaning have 
there been more updates since the February push that could have corrected the problem 
the original push caused?  I really have no idea what the add on would be used for 
anyway.  I'm just curious.

They seem to have added another level of difficulty. I found that in the registry there is another entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ MozillaPlugins called @microsoft.com/WPF,version=3.5. It puts the add-on back into Firefox. If you delete this key (and all sub-keys) then it no longer shows up in the add-on list. 'Course you still have to deal with it being re-installed by updates.
