this issue is solved with geckodriver 0.15 and selenium 3.3 version.

  • This made me realize that for geckodriver 0.17 you need Selenium 3.4.0 – Walter G. Jun 16 '17 at 04:07
  • I still have the same problem with geckodriver 0.20.1 and Selenium 3.11.0. Here is my question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49969902/geb-geckodriver-not-working-properly-launching-multiple-browser-window – eskoba Apr 22 '18 at 21:13

You need to download geckodriver. And then set 

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path\\to\\geckodriver.exe")

Check this link.

  • I am setting the System property but still getting the error, System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "..../geckodriver.exe"); capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true); driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities); – KingArasan Oct 20 '16 at 13:53
  • How are you writing the path to the geckodriver.exe? – Immers Cherub Oct 20 '16 at 14:03
  • The path format should be "D:\\work\\project\\geckodriver.exe". It will not work if you just set the path as you just wrote above. – Immers Cherub Oct 20 '16 at 14:17

I had the same problem and fixed it with this. It seems it could not find the firefox binary 

capabilities.setCapability("firefox_binary","C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");

Same problem here. It was solved opening Eclipse/Netbeans with admin privileges.

This worked (linux mint, opensuse thumbleweed, win7) with

libraryDependencies += "org.seleniumhq.selenium" % "selenium-firefox-driver" % "3.0.1"

geckodriver.exe -V geckodriver 0.13.0

if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("linux")) {
  println("загружены настройки os.name=linux")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "bin/chromedriver")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "bin/geckodriver")

}else{
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "bin\\chromedriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "bin\\geckodriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "bin\\IEDriverServer.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Web Driver\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", "c:\\XXX\\operadriver.exe")

  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.path","""C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Opera""")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.binary","""C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Opera\\launcher.exe""")
  //
}

...

      case
        "firefox" => {
        println(" подгружаем Веб-драйвер: geckodriver")
        //iniprofile = new ProfilesIni()
        //ffprofile = iniprofile.getProfile("default")
        dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox()
        dc.setCapability("gecko", true) // как выйдет драйвер, так и установить
//        dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, ffprofile); //FirefoxDriver.PROFILE = “firefox_profile”;
        remote = new FirefoxDriver(dc)
      }

but, for Remotewebdriver-connection if previous session failed,cancelled or aborted we get error:

[info] XXXX.E011_WebDB6292 *** ABORTED ***

I ran into the same problem today, and it appears that not being admin on my laptop is actually an issue. To resolve it

  • Install in a non admin way Firefox (just need to click on no when Windows ask for privilege elevation)

  • Use the exe path (for my system something like C:\\Users\\MyUserName\\AppData\\Local\\MozillaFirefox\\firefox.exe).

    It actually solved the issue.

Alternatively if you dont want to download the Gecko driver, you can downgrade the Firefox version to 44.

If you are using the latest GekoDriver then better to update the Selenium library versions as well. The above issue is related to the Selenium version.
