I think that's happening because the new issue occurs with latest update of Mozilla firefox.

It's happening with me too.

To overcome from this issue you need to setPreference as xpinstall.signatures.required", false to firefox Profile and then pass it to driver object

firefoxProfile.setPreference("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);

Below code is working fine for me.

static WebDriver driver=null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    final FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
    firefoxProfile.setPreference("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
    driver.get("https://www.google.de/");

Hope it will help you :)
