Detailed Results
- 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 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.
- The only viable method of removal for the .Net Framework Assistant 1.1 extension is through applying the Microsoft update patch.
