Answer 1

Type this:

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

before your set property for Gecko driver.

This issue is for some systems who cannot find the path for the installed Firefox.

Take a look at this post:

It seems that your firefox installation dir isn't the typical one. You have to tell selenium where the firefox binary file is.
