If RadEditor is initially hidden with display:none, its tools do not work when displayed in Firefox 62.0: <div style="display: none" id="hiddenWrapper"> <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor> </div> <script> function f() { $get('hiddenWrapper').style.display = "block"; } Sys.Application.add_load(f); </script> There is a warning error in the console: "Mutation Events is deprecated and to use MutationObserver". The fix is to call the $find("RadEditor1").onParentNodeChanged(); method to recreate the content area: <div style="display: none" id="hiddenWrapper"> <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor> </div> <script> function f() { $get('hiddenWrapper').style.display = "block"; $find("RadEditor1").onParentNodeChanged(); } Sys.Application.add_load(f); </script>
