Unable to launch Firefox driver - selenium-webdriver

I have Firefox 11 in my Win7 system with selenium 24.1:
When I tried to launch Firefox using from Eclipse, I got following error(It's same for all even after re installation ):
**Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile.layoutOnDisk(FirefoxProfile.java:389)

at org.openqa.selenium.fire fox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:95)at mend.w.main(w.java:9)
Following is the code, I tried:
package try;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class trySelenium {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FirefoxDriver n = new FirefoxDriver();
n.get("google.com");
}
}

Since you are using selenium 2.41, it will not support Firefox 11. Either upgrade your browser or downgrade selenium version to respective supported Firefox version.

Instead of using:
FirefoxDriver n = new FirefoxDriver();
use following in your code:
WebDriver n = new FirefoxDriver();
WebDriver is an interface that FirefoxDriver class is implementing.

Please check your exception lines, which is saying - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property;
Selenium can't communicate directly with browsers, it needs a driver file which is provided by the browser providers. Here in Chrome browsers when you want to run the script you'll require chromedriver basically provided by Google. Downlaod the driver file and put it in your project, and add below lines before browser initialization.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

You need to install gecko driver. A brief introduction about it and how to install gecko driver can be found in following link. Hope this helps!
Gecko Driver is the link between your tests in Selenium and the Firefox browser
http://toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/how-to-use-geckodriver/
I installed gecko driver from github and put it in the folder location of my workplace and it worked!
working result
Download geckodriver and use this code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "E:/software and tools/geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();
//Launch the Website
driver.get("http://127.0.0.1:3000");

Unable to open chrome using Selenium

I have downloaded the latest chrome driver from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
I agree with the comments.
On Mac OS you will not need .exe after chromedriver.
For your example you'll want it to look like this: /Users/raisa/Documents/Selenium/chromedriver.
I've also seen this problem come up because the execute permissions wasn't set for the file.
So double check the file permissions, and also that the file is in the actual path given.
Through terminal navigate to the place where chromedriver is located and then execute following command.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver
