    How to remove Microsoft .net framework assistant from firefox?

    I did the windows update and the Microsoft update quietly installed the Microsoft .net framework assistant firefox extension . This is really annoying and i can't find any use of that extension. How can i remove that from my firefox?

    Can't you uninstall it as you do other firefox extensions? There should be uninstall button in add-on manager.

    Yes , same case was with me, do the following:

    • Open Regedit by Start -> Run -> “regedit” (Ofcouse witout commas)
    • Goto “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions” or “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions” for 64-bit versions of Windows
    • You’ll see “{20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}”. Right click it and click Delete.
    • Restart Firefox.
