which firefox version is compatible with selenium 3.5.0?

I tried with Selenium 3.5.3 GeckoDriver 0.19 Firefox 55 but getting below exception:

Error: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: browser name not boolean

Code : 

            DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
            WebDriver driver = null;
            System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "<path to gecko>\geckodriver.exe");
            cap.setBrowserName("firefox");
            URL sURL= null;
            cap.setCapability("firefox_binary", "<FIREFOX_PATH>"));  
            //Grid              
            sURL = new URL("http://localhost:5555/wd/hub"); 
            driver = new RemoteWebDriver(sURL, cap);

Also saw this thread https://seleniumhq.wordpress.com/2017/08/09/firefox-55-and-selenium-ide/ that selenium ide would not be supported anymore in Firefox 55. Whether selenium jar would be still supported?

It was a bad news for the tester community since Selenium IDE no long works from Firefox 55 onwards. Now you have 2 choices:

1- Try with previous version of firefox (Temporary solution)

2- Use Selenium IDE alternatives (Highly Recommended)

I recommend you to use Firefox 54.0 and geckodriver v0.18.0.

Actually this links regarding Selenium IDE. You can use firefox 55 also.
