Hi @andreastt
Could you please help me here to take trace-level log from geckodriver.

I have added below code in eclipse:
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.TRACE);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);

but don't know at which location these logs files are generated.

The log should be in the current working directory

@sarveshp90 it looks like there is a problem with your graphics driver, and Firefox aborts during startup. As such geckodriver is not able to connect to it.

[GFX1-]: Mismatched driver versions between the registry 8.951.0.0 and DLL(s) 8.15.10.2626, reported.

Can you please check if you can manually start this instance of Firefox?

I would suggest to fix the graphic driver installation, and if time permits please also file a bug on Bugzilla for Firefox.
