Firefox Add-on: List Open URLs

Let’s say you’re searching for videos (or webpages if you wish) of some topic. And you navigate through lots and lots of them… Opening new tabs and even jumping between links without leaving the previous URL open somewhere else (this commonly happens when you click any “Related Video” on YouTube, since it automatically opens on the same tab)…

It would be really tedious to go through each of your tabs rescuing all the interesting URLs to save them…

Also, if you could save them as bookmarks (assuming you don’t care about the browsing history), it’s not really simple to just get the URLs to copy them or to send them to somebody else…

For this (and for any other case you could find), I developed the “List Open URLs” Firefox Add-on…

ListOpenURLs_Menu

As you can imagine, its really simple to use…

You just click the Tools menu “List Open URLs” option and you’ll get a prompt asking whether or not you want to take into account the history of each of the tabs…

ListOpenURLs_HistoryQuestion

If you choose not to (“Cancel” button), then it will generate a listing including only the currently opened URLs…

ListOpenURLs_DumpNoHistory

But if you, instead, clicked “OK”, then you’d get a full listing, including the history of each tabs (the URLs in the “back” and “forward” buttons)…

ListOpenURLs_DumpHistory

Finally, if you want to copy the entire text, you can simply right click it and choose “Select All”…

ListOpenURLs_SelectAll

And, after that, right click it again and choose “Copy”…

ListOpenURLs_Copy

That’s all… You’ll have the text in your clipboard…

  • Hi Developer, I found your addon very useful =] .
    One bug that I´ve found is when the size of the urls to be listed oversizes the “open urls dump” window size.
    Some of the urls stays bellow the window, hidden, and cannot be copied.

    thanks in advance =]

    • Hi Johnes!

      Thanks for your comment…
      It’s not really a bug, but someday I’ll add an option to copy automatically the URLs…
      By now, you can either press Ctrl+A to select the entire text of the message (and then copy it) or right click it and choose “Select All”…

      Hope it helps!
