I know I can read the URL of the current page, but is it possible to read the url's of all open tabs?

Thanks!

No. It is not possible, unless it's being done from a Firefox extension or something similar.

I'm sure you can see why this would lead to all sorts of privacy issues.

You cannot do this from the client-side.

What is your motivation?

You should never have the need to do this.

Is there any way to do it? Maybe with a GreaseMonkey script?

No, you have no business on what other sites are open in other tabs/windows.

You could do it with a browser add-on, but who'd want to install it?

No, you cannot, for security reasons.

What I wanted to do was a little app that allowed me to store my open tabs through the click of a bookmarklet, save it to my server, and then I could access the app from another PC and reopen the tabs. Sort of like the "continue session" feature of most modern browsers, but in the cloud; seen as I change computers often - which can disturb my workflow.

If it is for the purposes of "session syncing" and you use firefox... have a look at Mozilla weave http://www.mozillalabs.com/weave
