For Java Solution using Selenium Webdriver, you can import the below class:

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary; 

and use the code snippet below to instantiate a new driver by explicitly specifying the path to the firefox.exe in your local system.

DesiredCapabilities browserCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxBinary ffbinary = new FirefoxBinary(new File("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"));
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffbinary, ffprofile, browserCapabilities);

Note: You may need to replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with the path that points to firefox.exe on your local machine.
