Given implicit wait time

driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Same code working in chrome..

For firefox below code used for launch:

private synchronized ThreadLocal createFirefoxDriver()

{ // FF Profile
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/driver/geckodriver.exe");
        ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
        FirefoxProfile testprofile = profile.getProfile("Selenium");
        FirefoxOptions foptions = new FirefoxOptions();
        foptions.setProfile(testprofile);
        DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
        dc.setCapability("marionatte", false);
        foptions.merge(dc);
        driver.set(new FirefoxDriver(foptions));

        return driver;
}

Thanks @DebanjanB..Still my issue not resolved.. After running script by using profile

This error message...

Can't find symbol 'eglSwapBuffersWithDamageEXT'.
Can't find symbol 'eglSetDamageRegionKHR'.
JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/XULStore.jsm, line 66: Error: Can't find profile directory.
console.warn: SearchSettings: "get: No settings file exists, new profile?" (new Error("", "(unknown module)"))

...implies that the firefox-profile by the name Selenium doesn't exist.

Solution

Before you try to access the firefox-profile by the name Selenium you have to create it first following the steps mentioned in Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows
