Really, where do you change that?  On mine if I click a link to try and 
install a ClickOnce app I first get the standard FF dialog box with 
Save/Cancel but with an extra "Run ClickOnce app".  If I click the Run 
button it then checks what version of .net I have (this is what the MS FF 
extension is for) and then I get *another* security warning that asks me if 
I'm sure I want to install the application.  Then it runs.

If I try the same without the MS FF extension installed, I just have to save 
the file somewhere (there is no "Run ClickOnce app" button) then run it 
(with a warning), then the ClickOnce app installs and runs.

TBH so long as the MS FF extension always asks you I think it makes things 
easier to run from the web.  The fact that yours defaults to running without 
any prompt though is a bit worrying.
