TestNG not running #Test for Firefox Driver -- Chrome working - selenium-chromedriver

Question

I am building Selenium WebDriver tests for Chrome and Firefox in Eclipse using TestNG. When I run the testng.xml file as a TestNG Suite, it opens the Firefox browser, but does not enter the #Test method in the class file. It does the #BeforeClass method just fine.
However, when I have virtually the same code but for Chrome, it works fine - it enters the #Test method and everything is golden.
Any idea why it would enter the #Test method for Chrome, but not Firefox?
Here is the code for my class:
public class TestFireFox {
private WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public void beforeClass() {
System.out.println("Running TestFireFox Class");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "geckodriver");
}
#AfterClass
public void afterClass() {
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void verifySearchButton() {
System.out.println("Inside Verify Method");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
String search_text = "Google Search";
WebElement search_button = driver.findElement(By.name("btnK"));
String text = search_button.getAttribute("value");
Assert.assertEquals(text, search_text, "Text not found!");
}
}

The problem might be the order of statements. You need setProperty before instatiate Firefox.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
