Like for me.I also had this before installing this hotfix.

In my Firefox add-ons, the .NET Framework Assistant 1.1 used to be there, but disabled with an uninstall option. Today, after the error messsge, it now has a red exclamation point next to it, and the 'enable' button is greyed out in favour of the 'uninstall' button. It would seem that Firefox wants me to uninstall this add-on?

By me after few browser restarts this add-one was again available and I disabled it pernamently.Maybe I also decide to uninstall it completely.If restarting browser don't help you or this error appear again uninstall this add-one.

If so, what do I do with KB974455?

In my opinion .NET Framework Assistant is defective not this hotfix.

EDIT Because again I have trouble with .NET Framework Assistant in Firefox I'll uninstall it completely

Thx but I've already removed .NET Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation and now no any problems.In my opinion they aren't really needed in browser.More troubles with it than useful.

EDIT

If anybody decide to remove .NET Assistant & WPF apart what MS say How to remove the .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox you have to do also this How To Uninstall Windows Presentation Foundation Plugin In Firefox
otherwise you still have WPF plugin in browser

Check this out:
Apparently we don't need to do a thing since Firefox has already disabled the .NET Framework add-on...

MS09-054 patch zaps Firefox @ AskWoody.com

I'll leave all as it is..

Thanks for your help.

G'day Peppur,

No worries and I've done same and am ignoring that Update for the same sentiments.

I like to steer clear of issues that throw up words like 'exploit' and 'vulnerable', and similarly will leave all, as is.

Cheers
