Thanks for this wonderful extension. Would you please add the ability to choose the location/filename where the user wants to save the file containing all the saved tabs? Thank you.

Yes, it allows saving and restoring when you have to completely wipe out your Firefox installation and profiles, and then restore.

@gentisle, I worded your issue a little more general. While it is not possible to have a save-to-file feature, I have an idea how to add an emergency export/import feature to at least save your stored URLs.

As for why it is not possible to save to the file, Firefox Add-Ons are not allowed to access the file system due to security reasons.
