Fortunately, there's a way to continue to use FF3, name, the portable version.
For those that don't know: a 'portable' version of a program doesn't mess with a computer's registry files... everything that's needed is kept in its own directories. Thus, you can install it on a thumbnail drive, e.g., and use it wherever you go and it will have all your settings kept right there on the thumbnail drive.
So, what I did was to install a portable version of FF3 on my computer and use that for browsing the forums so that FFvB would continue to work. It doesn't interfere with the main FF installation that I keep updated for the latest and greatest websites.
You can't run both at the same time, but you can indeed run them individually without either interfering with the other.

Thank you so much! I had no idea that this would work for me, and sure enough it does without messing with my main Firefox install. You're the best.
