Microsoft quietly adds .NET to Fire Fox
« on: August 18, 2009, 04:37:42 AM »
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. 

Found the article at: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/05/microsoft_update_quietly_insta.html

No matter how hard you try to push the envelope, remember it's only stationary.

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