Updated on: January 12, 2019

Now a days Mozilla Firefox is becoming more and more productive.The reason is  now they are non-profit organization with lots of open API's. yes I can  say this is  the rapid power of Open-Source  :). Consistently Mozilla releasing their product updates with lots of improvement and functionality w.r.t developers .That's why I am proud to be a Mozilla Firefox Campus Representative.In previous release Mozilla included 3D web experience which is really appreciable from their end.

Firefox

Now they come with a tool that can easily customize/modify  any web-pages  within click. No need to go with source code and all 🙂 Hackasaurus X-Ray Goggles is the  name of that tool which  help you to remix your page and share it instantly.This tool is nothing but a Script which is pointing to a  source code data of any page with enhance UI,so that you can remix any page quickly & share it across the web.Mozilla is considering it as teen hack tool but after using it I realize it is most useful for static web-developers  🙂

Why we need  such type of tool:

1. For rapid development of project.

2. Easy customization.

3. For debugging & testing any layout.

Tools used in Hackasaurus

1. X-Ray Goggles

2. HTML Pad

Their are more similar tools like this e.g JSFiddle etc present,but as its a part of Mozilla you don't need to avail any third party service.Currently its in Testing mode,bu you can still get an experience of same.

How to use Hackasaurus:

Step1. Navigate to Hackasaurus install  url

Step2. Now hover your cursor to 'X-ray Goggles' button & drag & drop it into your bookmark toolbar.
