Last time I checked, the ClickOnce support was a forced update from
Microsoft when they rolled out .Net 3.5 SP1.  Originally they installed
it without giving the user the ability to remove it.  Caused a bit of a
stir when it happened, and several people documented ways around
removing it.  After all the issues, I believe Microsoft released an
update that made removal easier.

I think it was an add-in called Microsoft Framework Assistant, or
something to that effect.  A quick google search for "firefox disable
ClickOnce" comes up with some information.
