    A Node.js script that generates an HTML file from your Firefox open tabs. Useful when Firefox crashes upon restoration.

Copy the sessionstore.js file from your Firefox profile
Run node ./extractsession.js > session-`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.html to generate an HTML file with a list links for every open tab

Thanks to @clochix for the initial script.
