Firefox 55/54 browser throws exception OR does not returns back the control to selenium code for maven project after initialization in Windows-7 x64

Question

I have set up an ANT project to write my UI automation framework using Selenium 3.4.0. I am using Gecko driver v18.0 for supporting latest FF browser v55. java version I am using is 1.8. This project initializes the FF browser with "desired capabilities" object and completes the test. IDE used for this project is Eclipse (Enide 2015). The unit testing framework here is TestNG.

I tried to replicate the same in a maven project using 3.4.0 selenium & Gecko driver v18.0. IDE I am using is IntelliJ. But here after the code executes the driver-initialize part, the browser window opens and then the control never comes back to selenium. The browser remains open for 10-15 min & process keeps running in the background. I have to stop the run to come out of it. Unit testing framework for Maven project here JBehave.

So I did few hit and trails to see the compatibility between Selenium and Gecko driver for Firefox:

Selenium 3.4.0 | Firefox v55 | Gecko Driver version - v15 for 32/64 bit |

Result: After Initializing FF browser, control does not return back to Selenium.

Selenium 3.4.0 | Firefox v55 | Gecko Driver version - v16 for 32/64 bit |

I have read through most links mentioned below but it did not help-

For the first entry above (...which is Selenium 3.4.0, Firefox v55 and Gecko drover v15 for 32/64 bit windows), when I did Ctrl+Shift+J I got the below log-

This is generally the consequence of an add-on using a deprecated search service API.

My target is to use this framework for UI testing against the latest stable version of IE, Chrome & Firefox browser. Any help in this regard will be helpful.
