IN JAVA Language:

If you install firefox in default location you just write:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

For other location you can coding like below:

File browserAppPath = null;
if (Platform.getCurrent().is(Platform.WINDOWS)) {
    browserAppPath = new File("C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla   Firefox\\firefox.exe");
    if (!browserAppPath.exists()) {
       browserAppPath = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
   }
} else {
   // Ubuntu
   browserAppPath = new File("/usr/bin/firefox/firefox-bin");
}
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver( new FirefoxBinary(browserAppPath), new FirefoxProfile());

Either add your Firefox binary to the PATH variable or set it programmatically using a constructor of FirefoxDriver taking a FirefoxBinary, like this one:

FirefoxDriver(FirefoxBinary binary, FirefoxProfile profile);

To find out the path to your firefox binary on Linux, run this command in a shell:

which firefox

If this does not show a path or shows an error nessage, then Firefox is not installed on your Linux system (if it is installed on your Windows PC, then this is the reason why it works there).
