I am getting below error even though I had set the correct path for gecko driver.

Main:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class firstCase {
    @Test
    static void titleControl(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:\\Program Exe's\\geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");          // Wee need that as Intellij doesn't know where it looks for browser
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        Assert.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(),"Google");
    }
}

Error:

    Can you please elaborate on the question? I'm not sure what your error is. In my case, the same shows up in the console but it works just fine – RushiSrinivas.K Jul 16 '20 at 07:13
  • Actually my test is passed too but when I see `JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/XULStore.jsm, line 66: Error: Can't find profile directory.` I suspect about what is wrong. Does it a problem? – Asell Jul 16 '20 at 07:24

    Yea this happens if JS is not enabled on your browser. Check [this](https://www.wikihow.com/Turn-On-Javascript-in-Mozilla-Firefox#:~:text=From%20the%20Tools%20menu%2C%20click,or%20Preferences%20(on%20Mac).&text=Click%20the%20Content%20tab.,your%20Firefox%20browser%20can%20display.&text=Click%20Enable%20JavaScript%20or%20Enable%20Java%20.) out. – RushiSrinivas.K Jul 16 '20 at 08:15
  • hmm, interesting I follow the instructions but mine is already enabled. – Asell Jul 16 '20 at 08:22

This error message...

JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/XULStore.jsm, line 66: Error: Can't find profile directory.

...implies that there was a JavaScript error while GeckoDriver initiated/spawned a new Browsing Context i.e. Firefox browsing session.

When Selenium driven GeckoDriver initiates a Firefox browsing session there can be a couple of JavaScript related WARNINGS and ERRORS as a part of TRACE level logs during initialization. You can safely ignore those initialization errors till GeckoDriver is successfully able to initiate a Firefox Browsing session.

Conclusion

When the createSession is successful and W3C dialect is detected you can safely ignore the errors.
