You didn't update preferences for profile: profile.update_preferences(). You have to update the profile after set preference. Please following the code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', os.getcwd())
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', ('application/vnd.ms-excel'))
profile.set_preference('general.warnOnAboutConfig', False)
profile.update_preferences()
gecko_path = "path_to_geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe"
path = "path_to_firefoxs\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"
binary = FirefoxBinary(path)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile,executable_path=gecko_path)
