There used to be an addon, "Open tabs from clipboard URLs" but I can't seem to find it anymore.

The best I find now is, an addon that opens a box, then you paste your URLs in it, then you press a button.

That's not what I want. I want a toolbar button, I press it, the tabs open.

So that I can opens large blocks of URLs.

Also, I would like another addon which opens large blocks of URLs but does not load them immediately.

I have LoadOnSelect3 for this, but the problem with that one, is that it opens special moz:// pages until you load the tab. And that breaks searching and filtering tabs because the tab title and URL are not the real ones.

Yes, I use that between my main pc and phone. But doing that for multiple hundreds of tabs gets quite clunky compare to copy and pasting lists of urls.

I loved to see the statistics on how often you use each of those tabs

It really depends what the content of each tab is and if it has what I'm looking for. The whole thing about having loaded tabs versus bookmarks is that you can search and skim them, without a 5-10 second pause every time you go to the next one. Not that the bookmark manager even has a "magazine" system that would let you skip between bookmark with a single button like a tab does. Still this is very far from optimal. Firefox has an opaque tab data discard system and no tools at all for searching all content in all tabs. It also lacks a automatic AI tab categorization feature. You can't even assign tags to tabs, even manually.
