Irrelevant to node.js, but just for googlers like me: in Python it is done by `driver.maximize_window()` — Dennis Golomazov, Aug 08 '13 at 13:54

I'm using asynchronous style programming with node.js. I've tried to use it after the driver.init() call but it returns "TypeError: Object # has no method 'manage'" – testerteaser Dec 27 '12 at 12:52

If you're using capybara: `page.driver.browser.manage.window.maximize` (ie access selenium driver via `page.driver.browser`). – Zubin May 22 '13 at 00:36

First instantiate a firefox driver

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

then maximize it

 driver.manage().window().maximize();

Use this code:

driver.manage().window().maximize()

works well,

Please make sure that you give enough time for the window to load before you declare this statement.

If you are finding any element to input some data then provide reasonable delay between this and the input statement.

If you are using Selenium WebdriverJS than the below code should work:

var window = new webdriver.WebDriver.Window(driver);
window.maximize();

Call window as a function.

driver.manage().window().maximize();

The statement :: driver.manage().window.maximize(); Works perfectly, but the window maximizes only after loading the page on browser, it does not maximizes at the time of initializing the browser.

here : (driver) is called object of Firefox driver, it may be any thing depending on the initializing of Firefox object by you only.

What workaround do you recommend? I've checked that it works but not always. – david.perez Nov 09 '21 at 09:57

One way, everyone already have written in thier answers:

driver.manage().window().maximize()

but if you looking for alternative ways, here you are:

driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

or

driver.findElement(By.id("......")).sendKeys(Keys.F11);

driver.manage().window().maximize() ;

works perfectly and at the very beginning it maximizes the window. Does not wait to load any page.
