Lol, Firefox Blocks MS's Add-on
Well, if you've used some .NET stuff, you may have noticed that MS feels it necessary to install a .NET Firefox add-on for you.

As it so happens however, the thing has security vulnerabilities, so Mozilla decided to block the add-on and automatically disable it.

Did it really help anyone anyway?

RE: Lol, Firefox Blocks MS's Add-on
oddly enough this happened to me last night.

I finally went and added firefox's plugin "addblock" & shortly after enabling with firefox I got that pop up saying .net framework is a security risk or something, I just ignored it. Since .net framework has been on my PC for a long time now & the plugin is new soo,...I seen no issues with letting it run...
