Is there a general tool that can be used to view an extension's code for palemoon?

The extensions are just .zip files with a different file extension. All you have to do is change the extension to .zip, unzip them to a directory of your choice, make changes, and then zip them back up, being sure to change the name to .xpi again.

Depending on the extension you might even find the code on places like GitHub or Gitlab.
Of course modifying the code requires a certain knowledge, but if you just need to read sometimes you don't really need to unpack it.

You can refer to archived Mozilla XUL documentation for learning about coding/fixing extensions, hosted by forum user RealityRipple.
