Keep in mind that your profile may not work with Firefox 2 since Firefox 3 used it. You may need to create a new profile, but there's a way to get some of the data back. The mozillaZine knowledge base (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox) has some info you may find helpful.

Just out of curiosity, what do you dislike about Firefox 3? I've said Firefox 3 could be a polarizing release (I'm not that thrilled with it myself) and I'm curious what is leading you back to Firefox 2.

I also think you should be purging all firefox 2.0 files

sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox firefox-3 && sudo apt-get install firefox-3
