While working with:

• Selenium v3.x java clients
• Firefox Quantum v70.x

You need to download the geckodriver binary from this link and save it in your system and then provide the absolute path of GeckoDriver binary through System.setProperty() line as follows :

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
