That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Package) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).
