That is not correct content for application.ini.
Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Hi Guys I have SOLUTION for that. I perhaps could not attach my file here but let me still tell you the solution. You need "Application.ini" file from any other pc having Mozilla over it. There is no complex information in this file although. I will past code of that file here so you could copy that to your file as it is. After doing this if you get any different error prompting for version error then open this "Application.ini" file again where you just copied code. and change the version (you will find version text on second line at end) to appropriate one according to the Error Alert you just encountered before. That's it.
Application.ini File Code is below
(whole code must come in three lines, I can see line break special characters in special rectangular format)
