Selenium Firefox-Unable to locate an Web Element. Works on chrome and edge

I have a piece of code that works on Chrome and Edge but failing in Firefox browser. The page gets loaded but unable to identify a web element. Is there any step I should follow(like profile settings) while initializing the geckodriver? Need help in identifying the problem:

Code-

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","<path>\geckodriver.exe");
private static WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

I tried locating the web element on firefox and its found on DOM. I have used implicitwait(). The page gets loaded and element visible. But somehow Firefox driver is not able to identify the element.

In Java, single backslashes (\) are escape characters, so you need to use either double backslashes or a forward slash in the path.

Change your code as below:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","<path>\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
