Gecko Driver is a proxy that allows Selenium to control the Firefox browser for automated testing purposes. It must be downloaded, extracted, and have its file path set as a system property to set up. Using Gecko Driver provides advantages like launching Firefox, communicating with Gecko-based browsers, and providing an HTTP API.
