I saved my home directory under FC3 to a DVD. Then I installed FC5

I try to start firefox I get an error msg telling me that firefox "is
already
running, but is not responding". There is no file in .mozilla to that
match *lock*. If I remove .mozilla firefox starts but then I lose my
valueable bookmarks and passwords.

I did. a little 'sudo chown username:username -R .*' solved it.

but I already own all those files since I copied them from the DVD. (I
tried anyway just in case and it didn't work). There is some other
problem.

I had the same problem.
I solved it by renaming .mozilla/firefox to .mozilla/firefox.bak ,
starting firefox, stopping it and renaming firefox.bak as firefox .
