Selenium webdriver opens firefox but doesn't fetch page through Selenium and NodeJS

I'm starting work with selenium along NodeJS and set up a simple config file.

test.config.js

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
  By = webdriver.By,
  until = webdriver.until;

var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
  .forBrowser('firefox')
  .build();

driver.get('http://www.yahoo.com');

When I run $ node test.config.js

Selenium open Firefox but doesn't go to yahoo page. In chrome, all works fine.

Below my settings:

Firefox Quantum 63.0.3 64 bits.

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 64 bits.

Geckodriver version 0.11.1

node version: 8.11.3

Firefox open by selenium
