Firefox 3.6 and Framework Assistant

Hello,
I just installed Firefox 3.6 on two systems and I have the following problem.

System 1
The MS.net Framework Assistant is back, but I am unable to uninstall due to the button being grayed out. I can disable this on this system.

System 2
The MS.net Framework Assistant is back also, but I am unable to uninstall or disable this one as both buttons are grayed out.

Up until installing v3.6, the assistant was not on ether system.

If I disable as has been suggested by MS, I get a popup stating that I need the update download. If I disable this in windows update, I get a big red warning that I have a priority download waiting.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you.

 

I noticed it back as well, I thought they stopped installing that thing automatically. My buttons aren't grayed out though, I can disable/Uninstall. What use that would be I don't know as it'll likely pop itself right back in there at some point.

 

I am starting to see a few more threads about this on the internet so I guess I am not alone.
I managed to get the second system to disable this. Out of desperation I downloaded the extension from the Firefox add-on site and uninstalled it. When I did this and restarted, the option to disable was there.
I can disable but not uninstall on both of my systems.
I don’t know if this is a Firefox issue or a MS issue, but I hope someone has a fix for this soon. I know nothing can happen with them disabled, but I would like to be able to uninstall this from Firefox.

Thank you.

We need MS to fix this again. They did once before.

I tried removing the .NET Asst via some of the methods out on the web and then Microsoft Updates wants to re-install it. So the source of the problem needs to fix it!!!!!!!
