How do return to FF3.6 theme from FF4 after uninstall?

I installed Firefox 4. It hung while it tried to launch. I stopped the program. After looking at the new style, I uninstalled 4 but unfortunately forgot to remove the profile for 4. Now when I open 3.6, it has only tabs on top and nothing else. No search bar, no menu ability, etc. I already uninstalled FF3.6 and reinstalled. The trouble is that I NEED the bookmarks, therefore I cannot fully purge the profile. Issue persists.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== After uninstalling FF4.

I am posting a solution to the problem that I posted. I installed Firefox 4 again. Re-enabled all the toolbars. Uninstalled 4. Everything looks okay for now in Firefox 3.6.

The main issue I notice is that when you uninstall Firefox 4 it gives you the same warning if you check the profiles, customizations removal box. I think it refers to only Firefox 4, but I cannot be sure that it would not remove all bookmarks that were associated with Firefox 3.6.

Issue resolved for now.
