  • You need to have a web driver for selenium to use. The one mentioned in your error is https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases – Joseph Evans Apr 11 '17 at 18:26
  • Did you read the error, follow the link, and follow the instructions there? – JeffC Apr 11 '17 at 21:07

To work with Selenium 3.x with Mozila Firefox 52.0.2 you need to:

  1. Download the latest gecko driver and save it in "C:\your_folder".
  2. Set the System property mentioning the gecko driver along with its absolute path on your system as:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_folder\\geckodriver.exe");

  1. Next initialise the Webdriver as:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

  1. Maximize the browser:

driver.manage().window().maximize();

  1. Open an url:

driver.get("http:\\gmail.com");

Let me know if this helps you.
