Microsoft quietly adds .NET to Fire Fox

(1/1)

JollyRoger:
Apparently Micro$oft decided to quietly add the .NET framework to Fire Fox in a windows  security update. They made it an add-on but with no way to uninstall it through the add-on menu. You in fact have to manually delete it from the registry and delete the sub folder it resides in.

ZWarrior:
ya know, I was wondering where that came from when I rebooted last update.  Thanks for the update.
