TabFS β a browser extension that mounts the browser tabs as a filesystem
I have a extension that does that almost pretty identically to what you are looking for... it does list out every page you have but doesn't list the url. there is an unreleased version that I use that has a tab dumping to json that I use for just that session restore reason.
Maybe I'll finish the updated version and release it soon.
feel free to check it out: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
I wrote a little webext to help me find tabs in a visual way grouped by window. middle click closes the tab and left click brings the tab you click on to the forefront. It's simple but something I use many times every day.

Overcoming Tab Overload
for a lot of people you search for something to solve a problem. for instance debugging an issue. you middle click on a bunch of promising tabs and then go through them. if there is some useful information on that page you leave it open but it's rare that it's the only thing you need to know to solve your problem. another use is some API you need to use so you'd open up a bunch of tabs on the functions you are exploring how you need to use them.
I also separate the issue by window too and also use tabs and windows as temporary bookmarks really. not worthy of a full bookmark but not finished with.
I created an webextension to deal with handling those tabs because having a bunch of tabs across a bunch of windows is not the most ergonomic without one. might be useful for someone here I suppose: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

TabFS: Mount the Browser Tabs as a Filesystem
I am like your friend... basically tabs are a "working memory" that you don't want to store permanently in bookmarks. each window or sets of windows is typically a different topic that is being research on with a bunch of middle clicks to open tabs. I have so many open that I wrote a small webext for it that shows a page of all your tabs that you can click on to navigate to that tab with a click. just a nicer interface to see all the windows open and all the tabs. https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

You might want to ask on developer of the addon: https://add0n.com/tab-discard.html

Browser Tab Hoarding: How do you organize/archive your research? Trying to reach Tab Zero.
Not to be an enabler or anything, but have you tried Auto Tab Discard? Only active tabs will be loaded, so you can have thousands upon thousands of tabs without any impact on memory usage or performance.

Whist, a new cloud-hybrid browser
I use Auto Tab Discard [0], which offloads tabs after a period of time. They still show as normal tabs (with a "ZZZ" icon to indicate it's been discarded), and the website reloads when I switch to them.
When I open the browser after closing it, the session is restored with all but the current tab offloaded so it opens quickly and using very little resources.
My current session has tens of tabs, only a handful of them active. It uses about .5% CPU when idle, and less than 1Gb RAM.

That's true.
Also https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard, which despite the name, doesnβt close tabs, it just unloads them from memory.

Is there any addon that suspends/ hibernates tabs and restores them back when required like in Chromium based browsers there's "the great suspender" or "tiny suspender" and keeps a copy of tabs suspended as backup file on device?
I'm using Auto Tab Discard for very fine control but it is not needed most of the time. FF does this automatically now via Tab Unloading

Extension like the great suspender in chrome?
I think there is an issue open for this in the auto tab repo. Assuming that wasn't you who opened it you can go there and give a +1 to motivate the dev.
- Edge like sleeping tabs possibility with userChrome.js?
-
Inconsistent battery life?
If something like Google Chrome is using a lot of power, can I determine which sites are using the most resources in its Task Manager (Shift+Esc)? Can I use something like Auto Tab Discard to minimize resource usage in tabs I'm not using?
