I have this code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
But how can I let the browser open up minimized or hidden?

The headless property will do the task for you. Import Options() from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
my_opt = Options()
my_opt.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=my_opt, executable_path=r'path_to_your_geckodriver')
driver.get("url_you_want_to_access")
All set!

import chromedriver_autoinstaller
link = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo"
WINDOW_SIZE = "1920,1080"
try :
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install()
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--incognito")
chrome_options.add_argument("--log-level=3")
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=%s" % WINDOW_SIZE)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get(link)
#i want to turn off headless here so i can solve the captcha for example
print("Cpathca Solved")
#Then turn it back on again here

No, you can't.

My code opens driver and opens website but gives error about:
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_name'
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.python.org")
time.sleep(5)
search_bar = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
search_bar.clear()
search_bar.send_keys("getting started with python")
search_bar.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Use ID to find element

driver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.python.org")
time.sleep(5)

So thats my code, I want to open chrome with my default profile information in selenium. but its doesn't load and crashes when I click on profile icon in chrome
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=/Users/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Default")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/Users/Desktop/supbot/chromedriver', options=options, service_log_path="/tmp/log")
driver.get('google.com')
You should use full path to the driver file like:
C:\pathtodriver\chromedriver.exe
Also, avoid using Capabilities, try this approach:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get('google.com')
