WARNING: This will remove all traces of Firefox. That means no bookmarks, no passwords, nothing.

Well first restart your computer and let it completely boot up, play a solitaire game for a few min. to be sure it doesn't go into a search drive mode or something.

After 5 min. go to Start/Control Panel and open the programs panel to uninstall Firefox. After that is done go to Start/Run and enter %appdata% this will open the data storage folder for apps you have installed. WARNING:be careful in there.

Find the folder called Firefox and only Firefox, delete it. It might be inside another folder called Mozilla. If this makes you nervous just rename it to oldFirefox.

Open IE and download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/

If you are asking how to get 3.0 back up try Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to recover.
