This error message...

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new      session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

...implies that the GeckoDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. session.

Using Selenium v4.10.0, GeckoDriver v0.33.0 and v114.0.1 you don't require to pass the absolute path of GeckoDriver through System.setProperty() line any more.

Solution

Your effective minimal code block would be:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
