Import/export tabs to a file. #101

As the title says, it would be neat to be able to import/export windows and tabs to
a file.

This should probably be a JSON or possibly XML/HTML file, due to their ease of parsing
and generation in JS. I'm leaning toward JSON, personally.

The hard part will be reading and writing the file, as JS's I/O capabilities are really
(really) limited. It may be possible with the new FileReader API.

Actually, I'll probably need to use HTML for this, because...

flaviuadrian: "Another thing I'd like to see is exporting and importing tabs to a file
or clipboard with fully clickable URL's and respective identifying icons."

@temp01irc: That adds them to the bookmarks, sure, but doesn't allow for importing/exporting
them to a file. Yes, you could import/export bookmarks to a file, but it's a very roundabout
way.

Plus, with my own format, I could specify additional information, which would be harder
to save via the bookmarks system.

Another problem is with importing: I would need a standard folder which would contain
the user's tabs in bookmark format. But I would need to be careful to choose a name
that has a low chance of collisions. Storing it in the bookmarks system would also
cause it to be synced with extensions like say.. Xmarks.

It's an interesting idea, using the bookmarks system to store tab URLs for later use,
but I think the purpose of this request is different.
