(and Not Trust Microsoft)
I have NOT been installing .Net framework 3.5 on the windows computers that I manage.
Why? Because of documented problems with it, another behemoth program to download and bloatware to install, AND, now we find out they are automatically installing an extension in Firefox that CANNOT be easily uninstalled – without telling us about it.
It’s called ClickOnce support for Firefox and it’s supposed to make one’s life easier. But that’s beside the point.
If Microsoft wants to mess up their own software on our PC’s there isn’t much we can do about it, but DON’T mess with Firefox without our permission and then send us to the registry editor to undo it.
You can find a better explanation of it all here.
You can also find the Microsoft .NET ClickOnce Support for Firefox uninstall instructions here.
