Don't know about other browsers, But for Firefox:
How to write FireFox extension with Visual Studio using C# programming language?
And AFAIK:
.NET cannot be used to write extensions for FireFox. You could build an extension which runs your .NET application as a separate process.
from: Creating firefox add ons
Using Native Client, one could write a plug-in for Chrome that targets Mono.

Of course Mono supports C#...
I'll add that Native Client isn't the same thing as a browser extension or add-on. It's more akin to the Netscape Plug-in architecture or ActiveX controls.

IE is there for sure
and well html and javascript used in asp.NET will help you work it for chrome
the C# or VB part in ASP.NET sure could be used for serverside process with extensions of any browser
