I got error above. I added path to _firefox.exe_ to system’s environment values. I see full path to firefox.exe when I issue _SET_ command from cmd, but I get same error when try to execute test case.

I think the adding the path of firefox.exe to the System’s Environment Variable PATH would not solve your problem.

If you installed the firefox.exe to a location different from the default/ordinary path, then the FirefoxDirver will fail to find the binary.

You can check which location Katalon Studio expects to find the firefox.exe. Please have a look at my comment made on 5/14/2018 to the following post:

I added _firefox\_binary_ variable in Studio settings, browser window is opened, but URL is not loaded.

Thank you @[kazurayam](http://forum.katalon.com/profile/4280/kazurayam), I missed correct syntax for navigateToUrl(). It is working.
