You can use:

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

For example code snippet with chrome driver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
baseUrl = "chrome://newtab/";
driver.manage().window().maximize().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

for Firefox use just "firefordriver.exe"
