Just specify the path to the binary of the version..may be, like-

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile);

Just assign a path to proper version of firefox.exe to webdriver.firefox.bin property.

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "c:\\path\\to\\firefox.exe");

For firefox

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