-== Summary ==
-The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 update, pushed through the Windows Update service to all recent editions of Windows in February 2009, installs the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant Firefox extension without asking your permission.
-This update adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities present in all versions of Internet Explorer: the ability for websites to easily and quietly install software on your PC. Users may wish to remove this extension with all due haste.
-Unfortunately, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has taken steps to make the removal of this extension particularly difficult - open the Add-ons window in Firefox, and you'll notice the Uninstall button next to their extension is grayed out.
-Microsoft recently published a hotfix (i.e, .Net Framework Assistant 1.1) available [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cecc62dc-96a7-4657-af91-6383ba034eab here] which allows you to safely uninstall and or disable the extension.
 == Testplan ==
-Mozilla will assist with the testing of Firefox and the latest uninstaller patch of .Net Framework Assistant 1.1.  This will be an extension via Add-Ons Manager
+Mozilla will assist with the testing of Firefox and the latest uninstaller patch of .Net Framework Assistant 1.1.

 * The .Net Framework Assistant 1.1 is not offered via Mozilla's "Check Now" Dialog.  It seems the only way to obtain 1.1 is via [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cecc62dc-96a7-4657-af91-6383ba034eab Microsoft hotfix update]
 * Upon running Firefox with a new profile on a .NET 4.0  system alongside Framework Assistant 1.1, Firefox will start up with 1.1 in a state to be installed. It prompts the user to restart Firefox.   Can you confirm why we are putting the extension in this position? I would have expected the 1.1 hotfix update to place the extension in an installed state and set initially as Enabled. See screenshots.
