Copy All Open Tab URLs in Firefox With One Click

The Tab URL Problem

You've done research across 15 tabs. Now you need to:

  • Share these links with a colleague
  • Save them as a reading list
  • Put them into a document

Your options: open each tab, copy the URL, repeat 15 times — or take a screenshot and type them out manually.

There's a better way.

Copy All Tab URLs

Copy All Tab URLs is a Firefox extension that copies every open tab URL to your clipboard in one click.

Features:

  • One-click copy of all URLs
  • Formats: plain text, Markdown link list, or CSV
  • Option to copy only pinned tabs, or only unpinned
  • Works across all windows or just the current one

AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/copy-all-tab-urls/

Output Formats

Plain text — one URL per line:

https://github.com/...
https://docs.python.org/...
https://news.ycombinator.com/...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Markdown — ready to paste into a document or README:

- [GitHub](https://github.com/...)
- [Python Docs](https://docs.python.org/...)
- [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/...)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

CSV — for spreadsheets.

Real Workflows

Research sessions: Finish a deep-dive, copy all URLs to a doc as a bibliography. Faster than bookmarking then exporting.

Sharing: Colleague needs the same context you've built up. Copy, paste, send. No "can you send me those links" back-and-forth.

Session management: Before closing Firefox, copy all tabs to a plain text file as a manual backup. No extension sync required.

Why Not Just Bookmark Them?

Bookmarking is a one-way street. You add things, they accumulate, you search later. Copying all URLs to clipboard is ephemeral — for when you need the list now, not stored forever.

Different workflows for different purposes.
