Never touched FF3.5, I tried FF3 and it was such a worthless POS I went back 
to FF2, which is still a total POS, or course, but at least this way I have 
separate back/forward dropdowns, winestripe actually works, and I have no 
awfulbar *without* needing an anti-awfulbar addon (mozilla's standard 
strategy: force idiotic ill-conceived changes on everyone and rely on 
third-party add-on hacks for anyone who wants it fixed).
