Answer 1

The usage initialization of firefox Driver with a FirefoxProfile object has been deprecated. I've used that instead, adding the same preferences. And It worked for me

File gecko = new File("C:\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe");

        FirefoxOptions ffopt = new FirefoxOptions()
                .addPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false)
                .addPreference("geo.enabled", false)
                .addPreference("geo.provider.use_corelocation", false)
                .addPreference("geo.prompt.testing", false)
                .addPreference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", false);


        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", gecko.getAbsolutePath());
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffopt);

While working with Selenium 3.x, geckodriver v0.16.1 & Mozilla Firefox 53.x, you can disable the Geo Location popup by setting the preferences in the new Firefox profile as follows:

1. You have to download the geckodriver.exe from here. Save it on your machine.
2. You have to mention the absolute path of the geckodriver.exe through System.setProperty
3. You don't require to do driver.get("http://www.google.com"); to open any other URL.

4. Here is the working set of minimal code which opens the intended URL without the Geo Location popup.

   System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
   FirefoxProfile geoDisabled = new FirefoxProfile();
   geoDisabled.setPreference("geo.enabled", false);
   geoDisabled.setPreference("geo.provider.use_corelocation", false);
   geoDisabled.setPreference("geo.prompt.testing", false);
   geoDisabled.setPreference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", false);
   WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(geoDisabled); 
   driver.get("http://ec2-35-154-164-82.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/tiyorelease3/");
