What file in the profile contains changes that are made in the application settings section of Firefox Options? I'm guessing it is saved into one of the sqlite database files but I do not know for sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think it gets written to the prefs.js file. I think it gets written to some sort of sqlite database file or something, since it is searchable in Firefox Options. Any thoughts?

Those settings are stored in mimeTypes.rdf in the Profile Folder
