Extension Manager CS6 stealing file associations without asking

$

Using OS X Mavericks. Noticed several days ago that after an Adobe update, Extension Manager CS6 had registered itself as my default program to open a large number of file types (CSS, XSL, etc.)

 

There are three things wrong with this action: First and foremost, the installer/updater NEVER asked my permission to associate this program with ANY file type. Second, there is no way to change this behavior in the program preferences - I have zero assurance that a future update will respect my preferred associations rather than just stealing them again. Third, I'm now stuck hunting down files to reassociate them with my preferred editors. Whenever I hit one that I missed, and try to launch it in an editor, I get the Extension Manager again - which interrupts my workflow and makes me angry at Adobe once more.

 

I'd like to know whether this is going to continue happening, or whether Adobe is going to correct this. Every time I see a file that should be associated with my text editor but is instead is linked to Extension Manager, I want to uninstall the entire software suite.
