Catchy situation of org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms.

I have 2 projects - 1 freshely configured with latest selenium3-Working all fine with firefox68[These Tests are not in a framework]

project2 is a maven project which earlier worked on selenium 2.53...Have updated the dependency in pom.xml-Did a maven update to selenium 3.141.59.

Have used the same geckodriver as in project1.Yet i still get org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms.

Am suppose to get this when either browser incompatibility or driver incompatibility.[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16352775/org-openqa-selenium-firefox-notconnectedexception-unable-to-connect-to-host-127]

could you please suggest what else dependent dependency i have to update in pom.xml to make this selenium3.141.59 work in a maven project..
