Remove Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant from Firefox

This pesky little piece of shit came along with the .NET 3.5 Framework update.

Surely they could of at least ASKED me if I wanted to install it, then I wouldn't of minded so much.

But no, a backhanded tactic was applied and thus I will treat it as I would with the likes of trojans and spyware.

To remove it, navigate to:

  • for 32bit operating systems:
    "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions"
  • for 64bit operating systems:
    "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions"

Once found, remove the key pointing to the .NET Framework directory.
