Transfer all opened tabs in browser to a txt file

Suppose we have opened 20 tabs in firefox.
How can I collect all the urls to a txt file to be created in the desktop ?

Best Regards

I was sure that this idea was discussed here just recently, but I cant find it -
does it ring any bells for anyone?

This sends a list of tab urls to clipboard

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/send-tab-urls/

The BBSS.exe utility that comes with Browser Bunch will make a list from open tabs but it does it via macro and may not handle duplicates.

Also see OneTab

^^ Yes, OneTab would be brilliant for this and other browsing information capture purposes. I have been trialing it for a couple of weeks, and it's very nifty.

i have been working a lot 
Thanks to everyone 

Send Tabs Urls always send the pinned tabs ?

OneTab have many possibilities.

BTW : Two days ago i lost all my pinned tabs

I recovered because i taked care to collect them in a folder previosly. So i launch with openurl and fixed again.

But where are they really and optional ways to recover ?

Also if any of the methods of copying all open tabs to the clipboard as links will work, then this Howto Geek article shows how to put the links into a text file using the SendTo Menu:

Edit: also it is likely a feature in some clipboard utilities.  I am not sure if CHS Screenshot Captor does it but I would be surprised if it didn't.

(I shouldn't speak for other's software)

Have you considered Tab Grenade, a firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-grenade/ ?

There's also Powershell (v3+), adapted from StackOverflow:

Code: ( powershell)

Get-Content ~\AppData\R*\M*\F*\P*\*\s*\recovery.js | ConvertFrom-Json | Select -Expand Windows | Select -Expand Tabs | Where { !$_.hidden } | ForEach { @($_.Entries)[-1] } | Select Url >somefile.txt

Output:

Code: (text)

Yes, not as sexy but very simple.

recovery.js keeps the list of current tabs open in JSON format.
