your places.sqlite could be locked, that could be due to Norton Antivirus/360, to another antispyware/antivirus software, or due to a Firefox.exe process hang in memory (check with the task manager).
Also since this is a new upgrade, i would try a new clean install, to exclude some problem with the upgrade.

Do you mean uninstall firefox 2 and delete folder? then download the 3.0.5?

how do i check the Firefox.exe process in task manager?

CTRL ALT CANC and check in the task manager, kill eventually hang firefox.exe
