WebDriver  driver=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:7055/hub" DesiredCapabilities.firefox());
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");

There is one way i am aware of, but that can should implicate in some problems if you decide to run the same test in parallel. I'd advise you study a little bit about static parameters to see if it suits you.

When you start your first test do it as follows:

static WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); // Could be any Driver();

That way any test that you call driver.someFunction(); will work, as long as you don't call for close() or quit() until you reach the last test.

In order to reuse the browser, you can't initialize it in every test, so you need to use a singleton pattern in which you will have an unique webdriver.

So, instead of using the @before and @after clauses to initialize and close that browser, you want to use @beforeclass and @afterclass. Then, every test method in that class will use the same browser, from the exact point where the previous test left it.

But this will happen in the same test cycle. As far as I know, there is no possibility to use an instance of a browser launched in a different cycle, or manually opened.
