Answer 1

This kind of issues are coming in selenium 3.0 beta version.

If you are using using Selenium Standalone jar then you have to pass marionette as capabilities and initialize FirefoxDriver as follows:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);

Tried with geckodriver v 0.10.0.

String driverPath = "<path to gecko driver executable>";
public WebDriver driver;
public void launchBrowser() {
        System.out.println("launching firefox browser"); 
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", driverPath+"geckodriver.exe");
        driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    }
