Greasemonkey get names of all open tabs
greasemonkey, javascript, tabs
Solution
Doesn't GreaseMonkey run in the context of a single web page? I don't think it can access the other tabs.
If you make a normal extension, you can call `window.getBrowser().browsers` as is described here:
Detecting tab closed (after closed) from firefox extension
Aside from learning a little XUL, your extension might be easy to port.

If you just want the functionality, here's an add-on that does what you want already

Problem
My ultimate goal is to have an autocompleting list that displays all open tabs (in Firefox), which I can reduce to the tab I want to switch to next. I can do the completion / combobox etc, but I don't know how to get the list of all names (and favicons wold be a huge bonus). Would be grateful for any pointers.
