If only i could completely wipe firefox from my PC.. let it start from scratch. I'm pretty sure there are remenants of the beta versions screwing things up but they refuse to give uninstall options!

It should be simple. FFx only installs to two locations; program and userdata. There's nothing in \windows, or \system, or stuff like that.
Make sure to set IE as your default browser before deleting Firefox.
They changed the places several times during the betas, so let's go...
c:\program files\:
c:\documents and settings\~\application data:
...and delete any folder with 'firefox', 'mozilla', 'firebird', or 'phoenix'. Then do a search for each of those strings, just in case you decided on a strange custom install location one of those times.
I'd ordinarly caution you to save certain files from your profile directories, especially your bookmarks.htm, but it sounds like you need to start fresh, and it also sounds like you still have all the Favorites in IE, so you can let FFx grab your IE favorites on a fresh startup.
