"Hi! We at Mozilla certainly don't see that! I'm at 815 tabs ..."

Sorry ... hijack ...

Could you please implement a special:

settings://tabs

... URL that just gives a plaintext list of tab URLs currently open ?

As it stands, the only way to get this list is to poke around in /Library/ files and then use JSON command line tools to export ... etc., etc.

I just want a built-in page that gives me all the URLs of current tabs. I could then cut and paste them, or save the page, as I see fit.

Workaround:

1. Shift+Ctrl+D to bookmark all open tabs (in the current browser window) in a new bookmark folder.

2. Right-click on the new bookmark folder and select "Copy".

3. Then paste into your favorite text editor.

Thank you, but that's not a good workaround because your open tabs might be spread across 10 or 12 or 20 different windows ...

This isn't so much a feature request as it is a request for some simple debug info which can be accessed with a special://url (whatever those are called ...)

That's a great idea but it's wildly outside my wheelhouse! Our bug tracker is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

FWIW this sounds super easy to do within an extension: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

"FWIW this sounds super easy to do within an extension ..."

It probably is but I feel like debug/info URLs are simple and lightweight and belong in the core feature set - especially this one which you can find hundreds of examples over decades of people asking how to get this information.
