A Firefox Add-on that takes the address and title for each tab and creates a text list of links. The list is copied to your clipboard so you can paste it to notes. You can also open tabs from a previously saved list of links.
This Add-on is available for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-all-tabs/?src=api
The extension is open source software. Source code is available here: https://github.com/charlesbrandt/copy_all_tabs
This Add-on is similar in functionality to Copy All Urls on Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-all-urls/djdmadneanknadilpjiknlnanaolmbfk?hl=en
Pull requests are welcome!

The WebExtensions API is required in Firefox

Generally, following along with a "getting started" guide helps:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension
Open "about:debugging" in Firefox, click "This Firefox", click "Load Temporary Add-on" and select any file in your extension's directory
When getting started with a custom extension manifest.json, I received:
There was an error during installation: Extension is invalid
Check that the manifest.json is valid. In my case, I wasn't providing all parameters for the content_scripts option. Subtract and re-add elements until it passes to hone in on the part with a problem.
Click Inspect -> Console to see logging output
Reminder: Actions taken on Firefox about:* pages will not have any console output. Test with other tabs.

This add-on is inspired by old add-on called CopyAllUrls (http://www.plasser.net/copyallurls/). I used that add-on for many years with Firefox (Thank you, Jürgen!).
The current version has been updated to use the Web Extension API. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions
It is loosely based on the structure of the example "tabs, tabs, tabs" extension. https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/
Previous versions used Firefox's Add-ons SDK: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK
Functionality in the old version was available via the context menu. Right-click on a page to find "Copy Tabs" and "Paste Tabs".
