Firefox version 3.5.17 was unexpectedly updating and I force quit it. Now I can't get it to launch at all. Plus all my bookmarks are inaccessable. How to I get them back?

My Firefox was constantly asking me to update....I would click “ask later“. Then while I had already launched it & began reading, it started uploading a newer version without my telling it to. In the past, this has caused my computer to crash. So I “Force quit“...and it stopped uploading. However, now I have lost my Firefox app altogether. I can't launch it!.....and therefore can't access any of my bookmarks that took years to accumulate. What can I do to fix this? I have version 3.5.17.
