Every Driver service in selenium calls the similar code following is the firefox specific code  while creating the driver object    Override  protected File findDefaultExecutable           return findExecutable           geckodriver   GECKO DRIVER EXE PROPERTY           https   github com mozilla geckodriver            https   github com mozilla geckodriver releases            now for the driver that you want to use  you have to set the system property with the value of path to the driver executable   for firefox GECKO DRIVER EXE PROPERTY    webdriver gecko driver  and this can be set before creating the driver object as below  System setProperty  webdriver gecko driver      libs geckodriver exe    WebDriver driver   new FirefoxDriver

The Selenium client bindings will try to locate the geckodriver executable from the system PATH  You will need to add the directory containing the executable to the system path    On Unix systems you can do the following to append it to your system   s search path  if you   re using a bash-compatible shell   export PATH  PATH  path to geckodriver  On Windows you need to update the Path system variable to add the full directory path to the executable  The principle is the same as on Unix    All below configuration for launching latest firefox using any programming language binding is applicable for Selenium2 to enable Marionette explicitly  With Selenium 3 0 and later  you shouldn t need to do anything to use Marionette  as it s enabled by default   To use Marionette in your tests you will need to update your desired capabilities to use it   Java    As exception is clearly saying you need to download latest geckodriver exe from here and set downloaded geckodriver exe path where it s exists in your computer as system property with with variable webdriver gecko driver before initiating marionette driver and launching firefox as below  -    if you didn t update the Path system variable to add the full directory path to the executable as above mentioned then doing this directly through code System setProperty  webdriver gecko driver    path to geckodriver exe       Now you can Initialize marionette driver to launch firefox DesiredCapabilities capabilities   DesiredCapabilities firefox    capabilities setCapability  marionette   true   WebDriver driver   new MarionetteDriver capabilities      And for Selenium3 use as  -
