Answer 1

Selenium WebDriver Java code:

Download Gecko Driver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases based on your platform. Extract it in a location by your choice. Write the following code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:/geckodriver-v0.16.1-win64/geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.lynda.com/Selenium-tutorials/Mastering-Selenium-Testing-Tools/521207-2.html");
