I updated to firefox 3.6 from the repository, it works bad, so I come back to 3.5 from the repository, now firefox doesn’t start anymore.
try with click not work
try by console with
firefox not work
/usr/bin/firefox not work
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox not work
also try with -p and -safe-mode not work

permission of that files are rwxr-xr-x group=root user=root

if I launch it by superuser it works

linux-dvkc:/home/pla/Documenti # firefox
kmozillahelper(19259): Session bus not found

KCrash: Application ‘kmozillahelper’ crashing…
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory

Now that is probably going to confuse you. All your settings are in the folder you renamed.

if you copy all the files from the firefox default
to your new area

.mozilla/firefox/3vbwf2j7.default/

Your number default (I show in red) will be different. And it will be in .mozilla-backup that you are looking

It should be something like this

blocklist.xml      compreg.dat             dh-media-lists.rdf  extensions.rdf      permissions.sqlite     prefs.js         signons3.txt           webappsstore.sqlite
