Didn't see any replies on this yet.  If upgrade options don't work during our 
testing phase (there is sometimes an issue if the "package code" in the msi 
file is the same between versions) then we sometimes do an uninstall/reinstall 
option.  In your case, in the GPO, right-click the FF 2.x package and choose to 
remove and tell it to uninstall.  Then, add the FF 3.x package and it should 
install.

Since you've already had some trouble, I would make sure to test it out first.  
If you don't have a test domain, create a test OU and apply your testing 
policies there.  You can use gpmc to backup/import your current policy to use.
