The idea would be to access firefox data from 'outside'.

You might want to look at this Stackoverflow question,
How can I get list of open tabs in firefox via a command line application?

Ahhh - the sessionstore.js (JSON) file in your FF profile does seem to contain the appropriate list. Albeit inside a lot of noise. Seems structured enough to parse out though. Thanks for the link. – kenny Apr 11 '11 at 16:31

According to the mozilla site, no. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Command_Line_Options

Although you could write a plugin to write tab names to a text file I guess.

Thanks, I think your answer is the "right" one from a supported standpoint. But, hack > nothing. – kenny Apr 11 '11 at 18:15
