Remove Microsoft .net Add-On Firefox

I just opened my Add-ons in Firefox and to my surprise there was a Microsoft .net plug-in installed which could not be uninstalled. WTF? I certainly never installed this plug-in. And i definitely do not want the insecure Microsoft .net environment to be anywhere near my Firefox browser. If i want Java, i will use the real thing, not Microsofts garbage clone of Java.

You have to jump through several hoops to get rid of the crap Microsoft .net plug-in

1) Open your Start Menu and choose Run.

2) Type in regedit and press enter

3) Lookup the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions and delete the key there (Windows Vista 64-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions).

4) Go into Firefox and type in about:config in the address bar

5) remove: general.useragent.extra.microsoftdotnet

6) remove: microsoft.CLR.clickonce.autolaunch
