some ways of getting tabs out of chrome/firefox because I don't trust their session restore 100%

chrome_tabs.sh

# source this from your shell
chrome_tabs () {
        for win in $(seq 1 $(osascript -e 'tell application "Chrome" to get count every window'))
        do
                for tab in $(seq 1 $(osascript -e "tell application \"Chrome\" to get count every tab of window ${win}"))
                do
                        echo -n "win $win tab $tab: "
                        osascript -e "tell application \"Chrome\" to get URL of tab $tab of window $win"
                done
        done
}

chrome_tabs_for_emacs.sh

# source this from your shell
chrome_tabs_for_emacs () {
        local tabs
        local wins
        echo "* dumped bookmarks as of $(date)"
        wins=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Chrome" to get count every window')
        for win in $(seq 1 $wins)
        do
                tabs=$(osascript -e "tell application \"Chrome\" to get count every tab of window ${win}")
                echo "  - window $win/$wins with $tabs tabs"
                for tab in $(seq 1 $tabs)
                do
                        echo "    - [[$(chrome_fetch URL $tab $win)][$(chrome_fetch Title $tab $win | tr '[]' '{}')]]"
                done
        done
}

firefox_tabs_to_emacs.sh

#!/bin/bash
