TabsToFile

This extension allows you to export all open tabs in a window as shortcut files such as .URL, .desktop, .webloc, .HTML (web document only), and full .HTML (with images, scripts, etc.).

Features & Capabilities

What is it?

.URL for Windows

.desktop for Linux

.webloc for macOS

.txt (Text file)

.HTML

You can also export them as .HTML file. For convenience, all files are packaged into a ZIP archive.

Issues and fixes The full HTML export option may take longer to generate the ZIP file, especially if many tabs are open. Also, some websites may not look exactly the same when opening the exported file.

Does TabsToFile work on the Android version of Firefox?

It includes experimental support for future versions of Firefox on Android. However, Android currently does not allow including “discarded” tabs in the ZIP. These are tabs that appear as open but Firefox does not consider active and does not keep in RAM. This is a known issue in Firefox for Android that Mozilla is expected to resolve in the coming months.

Is TabsToFile Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

TabsToFile requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

TabsToFile may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
