Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary with Selenium in Maven

Question

I am running some Selenium-Tests. When I start them directly from Eclipse everything works fine. But when I Start them through Maven there the following Exception occurs:

Answer 1

my recommendation is 

    ===> switch to firefox version 50.0 [latest One] , 

    ===> download the gecko driver from [.](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)  and 

    ===> Selenium version 3.0.1
     
                org.seleniumhq.selenium
                selenium-java
                3.0.1
     

    ==> On your Code 
private WebDriver driver;
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "PATH to GECKO DRIVER");
        driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    and yes you see the below output in your console :
