This sounds like you mean when you get a new Windows 10 PC, you will
want to move your open tabs to the new machine. I see several
possibilities for this.
1. Copy your Firefox profile folder to the new computer, and tell
Firefox to use it as the default profile. I *think* this will include
the open tabs, but I haven't tried it. Saving that folder is useful for
backup anyway. (If you use Thunderbird for email, you really *must*
back up its profile folder because all your email with its folder
structure is there. BTW, you can even copy the profile over to a Linux
machine that has Thunderbird, and presto, all your email will be there.
The Firefox profile would probably transfer just as well).
2. Bookmark all your open tabs under a new heading "open tabs", then
export the bookmarks. In the new machine, import them into Firefox
there. They won't open in tabs, but it will be easy to find them and
open them when you want to. You probably will want to copy over your
bookmarks anyway, so this adds little effort.
3. There may be a specific record of open tabs that you can copy or
export. I don't know about this but an internet search should help.
Good luck.
a nice solution comes from
How to Copy URLs of All Open Tabs in Firefox
https://www.howtogeek.com/723921/how-to-copy-urls-of-all-open-tabs-in-firefox/
right clicking opened tab, all opened tabs can be selected
moving via menu to bookmarks/ booksmarks management
url bookmarks can be right-mouse clicked to copy urls
finally, urls can be pasted into Notepad++
and saved as a file
unfortunately, saving as .html file
fails to generate html file with clickable web links
Don't go pasting urls into a text file one by one. Instead, do my #2
above. That will import all the bookmarks, including the tabs you saved
as bookmarks. Then import the exported bookmark file into the new
browser. There's no reason to fuss around trying to get text copies of
urls to open.
For that matter, the exported bookmarks file is an HTML file and can be
opened directly in a browser, with clickable links.
