My operating system is windows 2003 server. Version of FF installed is 3.6.24. and the istallation path is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

    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.
