'''
Obtain a list of all tabs, and which URL is open

I would love to be able to write script, from outside firefox, and do these actions
I have found about the remote debugger, but I can't figure out if it's only for debugging firefox on android via adb ? Or can I use that directly from a script ?
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/about_colon_debugging/index.html#connecting-over-the-network
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS/Remote_Control
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions
devtools.debugger.remote-enabled
-start-debugger-server
?
Is any of this possible ?
thanks !
