Answer 1

you have to add vm argument while running the program. This should be like

-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin=/custom/path/of/firefox/exe

In IntelliJ IDE much simpler Goto Run → Edit Configurations... In VM options add the above.

Eclipse also have the options to give vm argument while running. This way I am using portable Firefox with selenium.

Answer 2

The simplest way is to use the below code before you define your Driver.

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin",
                    "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
