I am trying to run selenium test cases on my site and getting a wierd firefox launching problem from past few days.

I have tried few options per selenium FAQ page, however the problem still persists.
I have tried following things

1. I have tried cleaning up the C:\DOCUME~1\fromdev\LOCALS~1\Temp directory. The directory mentioned in the java stacktrace does not really exist on my system.
2. I have also tried restarting my system, just avoid any existing processes causing this.
3. I have also tried checking the task manager on my windows machine and I dont see any firefox processes.
4. I have also tried removing existing firefox profiles and recreating them.
5. I have also tried firefox with no-addon mode, however no difference.

The exception stacktrace is as shown below.
