Just for informations, I get Uncaught ReferenceError: SessionStore is not defined. Firefox 122.0 (64-bit), Ubuntu.

Thank you for reporting this. I'm not seeing the error in the Browser Console (global level console, Ctrl+Shift+J) on Windows, but I do see it in the Web Console (tab level console, Ctrl+Shift+K). Do you see it in both?

It solve the issue indeed. My apologize.

Thank you very much for this script and your explanation. 👍 I wasn't aware of the Browser Console.

I had indeed a few tabs without title and got the error:
Uncaught TypeError: tabs[t].entries[(tabs[t].index - 1)].title is undefined

Furthermore, I had trouble with the double quotes. If a title ends with a double quotation mark, the CSV file was not displayed correctly in LibreOffice Calc. So I replace them with single quotation marks.

Here is my customized version of the script:

ssj = JSON.parse(SessionStore.getBrowserState()); // get Current Session State
if(ssj && ssj.windows && ssj.windows.length > 0){
	// Build tab list
	var out = '"Win","Tab","Title","URL"\n';
	var wins = ssj.windows;
	for (var w=0; w<wins.length; w++){
		var tabs = wins[w].tabs;
		for (t=0; t<tabs.length; t++){
			var tab=tabs[t].entries[tabs[t].index - 1];
			out += (w+1) + ',' + (t+1) + ',"' + (tab.title?tab.title.replace(/\"/g, "'"):"") + '","' + tab.url + '"\n';
		}
	}
	// Set up Save As dialog
	var fp = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/filepicker;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker);
	fp.init(window, "Open File", Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker.modeSave);
	fp.appendFilter("CSV Files", "*.csv");
	fp.defaultString = "sessionstore-current-tabs.csv";
	// Call Save As dialog
	fp.open((aResult) => {
		if (aResult == Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker.returnOK ||
			aResult == Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker.returnReplace) {
			try {
				IOUtils.writeUTF8(fp.file.path, out);
				alert('Look for ' + fp.file.path);
			} catch (err) {
				alert(err);
			}
		} else {
			alert('Okay, not saving');
		}
	});
} else {
	alert('Could not get session data!');
}

Feel free to take over this adaptation.

By the way, it turns out that I have 233 open tabs. 😉

I had indeed a few tabs without title and got the error: Uncaught TypeError: tabs[t].entries[(tabs[t].index - 1)].title is undefined

Furthermore, I had trouble with the double quotes. If a title ends with a double quotation mark, the CSV file was not displayed correctly in LibreOffice Calc. So I replace them with single quotation marks.

Feel free to take over this adaptation.

I've adopted that for now, although single quotation marks may well break with apostrophes so I need to test.

More urgently:

Try/catch added for Firefox 125 (currently in Nightly), at lines 25-27, 29.
