UnreachableBrowserException Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException when "webdriver.firefox.marionette" is used
I'm using Selenium 3.4.0, Java 1.8 and Firefox 54.0.1(64 bit). I'm getting a null pointer exception when I try to open a link with Firefox. When I use Selenium/Python it works fine, but I'm trying to run the code from this guru 99 page (https://www.guru99.com/first-webdriver-script.html).I've searched to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I can't find any solutions. I get the following output:

Here is the Answer to your Question:
The error UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure says it all.
As per guru99.com it is mentioned to use webdriver.firefox.marionette within System.setProperty. In Selenium 3.x we would be using webdriver.gecko.driver instead.
So consider changing the line of code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","C:\\geckodriver.exe");
to:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
