After Firefox updated from v62, the test cases are unable to launch Firefox with error of Unable to open browser with url: ‘’ (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: newSession.
New Gecko driver needed if you have firefox 63.0(64-bit).
Error observed with Katalon studio 5.7.0 and 5.8.3.
Current Geckodriver version 19 should be updated to v23 from GitHub - mozilla/geckodriver: WebDriver for Firefox in \configuration\resources\drivers\firefox_win64 directory which would resolve that error.

Hi Peter,
I downloaded the Geckodriver v23 and running the .exe file does not do anything? (This is my first time installing this driver). And, where do I find \configuration\resources\drivers\firefox_win64 directory? Appreciate if you could help. Thanks.
Hi Peter,
I just installed Katalon Studio and am having a similar problem with Firefox on Windows 7 with the message:
Unable to open browser with url: ‘’ (Root cause: No driver is set for execution.)
I updated to the Geckodriver v23 but it still gives the same message, any suggestions? Thanks.
Guys, once try out Geckodriver v21.
It is working fine for me.
Here’s the link : https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

As I mentioned earlier, download the geckodriver.exe v21 from the link.
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Extract the zip file, copy the geckodriver.exe file and go to your Katalon Studio folder(where you have katalon.exe file), and from there, navigate to
configuration\resources\drivers\firefox_win64 folder.
There you will find an existing geckodriver.exe file. Just delete it, and paste the geckodriver.exe file which you copied previously, As shown in the image.
