Not able to connect with Firefox

Question

When I am running my webdriver project then sometime it throws the exception for "Not Connected" and sometime it works fine.

Also, when it connect and start the execution then at mid of execution its not able to find the object and execution will stay there..

As I have seen some of the reference site and found that their is some configuration problem, so I've tried below points:

I have executed the program by creating the path ff-binary, that time my Firefox version is 29 and Selenium-2.49.0
I have tried ff-binary with Selenium-2.52.0 too with Firefox version is 29 but still getting the same problem.
I have tried with my updated default Firefox version 44.0b1 and selenium-2.52.0 and 2.53.0 but still getting the same problem.

Can any one please let me know the solution to make this problem fix.

Console Output:

org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:

i think selenium is not able to find the firefox exe so please uninstall firefox and please install its latest version also please use latest selenium as well this will work — Rajnish Kumar, Apr 05 '16 at 07:13
@rajNishKuMar I have installed the latest Firefox version and client driver but still I am getting the exception "Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: WIN8_1". — ChayanC, Apr 05 '16 at 08:49
ok as per your comment org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH it's clear that selenium is not able to find firefox path then please specify path if not sure how then plz follow link provided by subham jain in below answer — Rajnish Kumar, Apr 05 '16 at 09:29
@rajNishKuMar Please check the code which I am using.. and still getting the same issue. — ChayanC, Apr 05 '16 at 09:52
Looking at the logs provided by you it seems every time you run selenium Firefox is being updated and also this issue has been reported with FF version greater then 35 please un-install FF completely and install FF v.33 it will work . — Rajnish Kumar, Apr 05 '16 at 09:59
also please look at the possible solution for your question https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/7954 — Rajnish Kumar, Apr 05 '16 at 10:17
did you tried by creating profile manually and then calling that saved profile..? i hope it works — murali selenium, Apr 07 '16 at 16:03
@muraliseleniumtrainer I have tried by creating profile manually too.. — ChayanC, Apr 11 '16 at 06:07
