Answer 1

I solved it by capturing the exception,i was getting when i was closing the browser manually and then try to close it again at the close of my application. From that catch block only i'm reopening the browser by instantiating the web driver again.

catch (Exception _e) {

                log.error(_e);
                System.out.println("Browser already closed");
    //launching the web browser again
                String path="";

            if(browserName.contains("chrome")){
                try {
                    path = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\BrowserExeFiles\\chromedriver.exe";
                    OpenURL.driver = new ChromeDriver();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            else if(browserName.contains("ie")){
                try{
                    path=System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\BrowserExeFiles/ie.exe";
                    OpenURL.driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            else if(browserName.contains("firefox")){
                String firefox_Path = getFirfoxPath();
            File pathToBinary = new File(firefox_Path);
            FirefoxBinary ffBinary = new FirefoxBinary(pathToBinary);
            FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();       
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffBinary,firefoxProfile);
            }

        }
driver.get(urlString);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
}
