    Default Updating to Firefox 3 - problems

    I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.20. Recently I updated to version 3, and about two thirds of my bookmarks and two thirds of my stored passwords disappeared.

    I keep written records of passwords, so that was just an inconvenience, but losing two thirds of my bookmarks was a big issue, as I have a lot of them, and many are sites that I only use very infrequently but when I do they're indispensible.

    My temporary fix was to reinstall v2 over v3, which brought everything back, but as v2 is no longer supported I do want to update.

    I'm sure it's possible to update without losing all those passwords and bookmarks, but I've no idea how. Can anyone help with this?

    Edit to add: I'm using Win XP Pro, in case that's relevant.
