Firefox is unresponsive. Is there a way for me to get a list of the open private tabs?

Firefox became unresponsive with +50 private tabs open, is using ~740 MB of RAM, 1,6% of CPU and no disk. I guess it's the latest version, but I'm not sure. I'd like to get a list of the tabs open before I kill the task. Is that possible?

If Firefox doesn't respond at all then you are out of luck with Private Browsing mode tabs/windows. No session data from PB mode is saved to the hard drive and since you can't bookmark these tabs or use the disk cache then these tabs are lost.

You can try to wait a bit longer to see if Firefox recovers.

It Firefox still using CPU time or is that 0% CPU ?
