Is there a way to save the currently opened tabs (URLs) of Firefox into a text file?

Firefox presumably does this already, since it offers to restore your tabs after an update or a crash. I would expect the information is stored as text: search through your filesystem for files containing key words from the URLs in your current tabs. – pavium Feb 2 '10 at 10:29

Use the URL Lister add-on.

Shows the URLs of all the tabs in a textarea so that it can be copied easily.

URL Lister is very handy, thanks for the tip. However, once your list is saved to a file, you might want to open all of them in tabs, i.e. restore the list. For this task, I made a simple Python script called open_in_tabs.py. Its usage is very simple:

cat url_list.txt | ./open_in_tabs.py

Another way is to use Edit Overflow (the Open URLs button with the list of URLs pasted into the list field). A delay can be put inbetween each opening of a tab. – Peter Mortensen Jan 29 at 19:09

I know it to be the case of foldered bookmarks at least, so that would be a roundabout way of doing it. Simply right-click folder, copy, and then paste into a text file or mail. Then it should generate a list of links.
