Is there an addon to view the titles (or search the text of) ALL open tabs in MULTIPLE Firefox windows?
Ive seen lots of "Tab Menus" for a single window. I know that there is only 1 firefox executable when I have many windows open so wouldn't these titles all be available in memory ?? I love having many windows open with many tabs in each to keep them grouped, but it becomes hard to find the one I am looking for. Thanks.

What do you think about using the Windows Taskbar for this? You can have Firefox show only one entry per window (active tab) or you can show every single tab. To turn on "every tab" listing:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"
Regarding search, the "Find in All Tabs" button added by Findbar Tweak can extend Firefox's search bar to text across all tabs in all windows, but I don't think it can be restricted to page titles. For more info or to try it:

I can toggle the "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" option on and off but it does not alter how Firefox windows are represented on the taskbar. In my case they are always "window previews" until I have 11 open windows at which point Windows decides it does not have enough room, then switches to 1 line descriptions. But it still only shows 1 tab title per window description. Note that I am also using "VirtuaWin" which is a Virtual Desktop manager so that I have many Firefox windows spread across many desktops (I come from the UNIX world). (e.g. right now I have 15 FF windows open in 5 different Virtual workspaces, all with multiple tabs). I installed "All Tabs Menu Help (ATH)" the other day as I thought it said it could search in multiple windows but it seems it can not, only across tabs. I'll try "Find in all tabs" and get back to you.
Thank you.
OK THAT ROCKS! "Findbar Tweak" was the plugin I have been "Hunting for" for a long time. Thank you jscher2000!
If you want a list of all open tabs the you can consider to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" to make Firefox store session data in sessionstore.js and parse the content of this file in a Firefox tab.
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
This code can run in the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Shift+F4) in a Browser environment and in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and in extension's button that allows to run code with chrome privileges. I use the PrefBar extension for cases like this where code needs to be run with chrome privileges.
You can find the Firefox profile folder here:
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Note that the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
