Page Hacker

Edit in Firefox the page displayed in any tab, with formatting tools.

Page Hacker is a versatile Firefox extension that allows you to instantly edit the content of any webpage you are viewing. By pressing the Page Hacker button or hitting Ctrl+F2, a floating toolbar appears, enabling you to format text easily as if you were using a text editor. This extension is perfect for removing unwanted content before printing, creating playful hoaxes by modifying page text temporarily, or even using Firefox as a quick text editor on a blank tab.

All changes made with Page Hacker are temporary and only visible to you, ensuring the original page remains unchanged for other users. If you're seeking permanent modifications, consider using tools like Greasemonkey. Page Hacker blends convenience and creativity, enhancing your browsing experience with simple editing tools directly within Firefox.
