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 02 '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](http://ubuntuincident.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/open-urls-in-browser-tabs-simultaneously/). Its usage is very simple: `cat url_list.txt | ./open_in_tabs.py` – Jabba Mar 13 '11 at 17:16

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.

There is this module, which can format (a bit) the list if you want : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/send-tab-urls/ It saved my day, thanks to its developer !
