Hi Anoop,

Open Sahi Dashboard -> Configure -> browser_types.xml
Edit the firefox section and add quotes around the firefox path.

For example, if it looks like
<path>$ProgramFiles\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe</path>
change it to
<path>"$ProgramFiles\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"</path>

Restart Sahi and check.

If the Firefox button is not visible any more, add
<force>true</force> just before </browserType>

Example:

    <browserType> 
        <name>firefox</name> 
        <displayName>Firefox</displayName>
        <icon>firefox.png</icon>
        <path>"$ProgramFiles\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"</path>  
        <options>-profile "$userDir/browser/ff/profiles/sahi$threadNo" -no-remote</options>  
        <processName>firefox.exe</processName> 
        <capacity>5</capacity>  
                <force>true</force>
    </browserType>

Thanks Narayan.
It got working with the solution you provided.
With the first line the FF button went hidden, when added the next line it got visible and launched.
