I am using selenium addon as well as jquery in my addon. Due to use of jquery functions with $ being used in selenium throwing function not found error. Removing the Jquery, everything works fine. Using Jquery (ajax call) is must for me. Please suggest how can I make them work together.

One recommended way to solve this kind of conflict is to wrap your javascript code inside a function, and pass jQuery as an argument to this function :
// e.g : turn this code :
$(function(){
$('.my-class').on('click', function(){
$.ajax(...);
});
...
});
// into :
(function($) { // start an anonymous function,
// whose first argument is named '$' ...
$(function(){
$('.my-class').on('click', function(){
$.ajax(...);
});
...
});
}(jQuery)); // and call this function right away,
// passing the jQuery object as first argument
Note that $ is just a shortcut for jQuery :
jQuery('.my-class') and jQuery.ajax(...)
// are exactly the same as :
$('.my-class') and jQuery.ajax(...)
You can also use your own alias :
var $j = jQuery;
If some day you need to mix jQuery with another library which defines a $ variable, you can also use jQuery.noConflict() (example taken from this use case) :
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

Error is not being thrown while calling jquery. Error occur during selenium function calls. I tried replacing $ with jquery. It didn't work. Actually I need a way so that $ in selenium not being recognised as Jquery.

jQuery.noConflict() is the way to go.
