webdriver 3 beta2 unable to close window

Question

I wish to update to selenium webdriver 3 beta 2 to test compatibility.
Selenium WebDriver: 3.0.0-beta2
Firefox: 48.0
OS: Windows 7
Code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public class GeckDriverTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/test/resources/wires.exe");
//      System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "src/test/resources/geckodriver.exe");
//      System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/test/resources/geckodriver.exe");
        DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
        cap.setCapability("marionette", true);
        cap.setCapability("firefox_binary", "firefoxbinarypath");
        WebDriver browser=new FirefoxDriver(cap);
        browser.get("http://www.seleniumhq.org/");
        browser.findElement(By.linkText("Download")).click();
        browser.close();
    }
}

But browser does not closes.
It closes if I use browser.quit() But throws error:

Try creating a new DesiredCapabilities instance.

 DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

instead of

 cap.setCapability("marionette", true);
 cap.setCapability("firefox_binary", "firefoxbinarypath");
