this issue is solved with geckodriver 0.15 and selenium 3.3 version.

You need to download geckodriver. And then set

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path\\to\\geckodriver.exe")

Check this link.

I had the same problem and fixed it with this. It seems it could not find the firefox binary

capabilities.setCapability("firefox_binary","C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");

Same problem here. It was solved opening Eclipse/Netbeans with admin privileges.

This worked (linux mint, opensuse thumbleweed, win7) with

libraryDependencies += "org.seleniumhq.selenium" % "selenium-firefox-driver" % "3.0.1"

geckodriver.exe -V geckodriver 0.13.0

if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("linux")) {
  println("загружены настройки os.name=linux")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "bin/chromedriver")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "bin/geckodriver")

}else{
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "bin\\chromedriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "bin\\geckodriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "bin\\IEDriverServer.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Web Driver\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", "c:\\XXX\\operadriver.exe")

  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.path","""C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Opera""")
  System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.binary","""C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Opera\\launcher.exe""")
  //
}

...

      case
        "firefox" => {
        println(" подгружаем Веб-драйвер: geckodriver")
        //iniprofile = new ProfilesIni()
        //ffprofile = iniprofile.getProfile("default")
        dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox()
        dc.setCapability("gecko", true) // как выйдет драйвер, так и установить
//        dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, ffprofile); //FirefoxDriver.PROFILE = “firefox_profile”;
        remote = new FirefoxDriver(dc)
      }

but, for Remotewebdriver-connection if previous session failed,cancelled or aborted we get error:

[info] XXXX.E011_WebDB6292 *** ABORTED ***

I ran into the same problem today, and it appears that not being admin on my laptop is actually an issue. To resolve it

Install in a non admin way Firefox (just need to click on no when Windows ask for privilege elevation)
Use the exe path (for my system something like C:\\Users\\MyUserName\\AppData\\Local\\MozillaFirefox\\firefox.exe).

It actually solved the issue.

Alternatively if you dont want to download the Gecko driver, you can downgrade the Firefox version to 44.
