Feature Request: Can I save all of my open tabs to some kind of template file so I can re-open all of my tabs at once at a later time from somewhere else?
I'm currently reading 10~15 tabs of pages, and I'd like to take them with me on the road, so I can finish reading all the contents at a later date/place/machine. Is there someway to just save my tabs to like a file, then email it to myself and goto another computer with firefox and run that file and go back to reading all the websites and links I'm currently browsing?

As a quick one off
- save the 10-15 tabs, using save open tabs
- find the folder in the bookmarks library
- copy and paste directly into an open email (small enough to fit without even attatching)
- send email, open it, click links as required, or paste into location bar.
There are other ways, taking all your bookmarks as a .json backup, and using an additional profile for instance. No doubt there are extensions available to do similar also.
See also Bookmarks Just be careful with restoring .json bookmarks they will overwrite everything, you must therefore backup manually and or use an additional profile.

Perhaps the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use the Session Manager extension. It allows you to easily recover your previously opened tabs from a crashed Firefox session, but it also has a very nice "Session Save" option, which allows you to save all your open tabs to a single very small file, and open it again from any Firefox that has Session Manager installed. I just used this to save my open tabs from before a reformat into my fresh install of Windows.
Another option is using Firefox Sync, but it is best if you only use it on PCs you own, otherwise you could end up syncing your passwords and bookmarks and open tabs onto someone else's computer where they might do who knows what.
