There's a plugin for Firefox called Copy All URLs, which lets you copy all the
titles and URLS of your current tabs to the clipboard. You can get it from
http://plasser.net/copyallurls/
You can specify the markup used for each line; I have '[[$url][$title]]' so I
get a list of org links. After copying the url list you can then either just
paste your it into an org buffer, or use a remember template which includes
clipboard contents.

Did you see my post to the list regarding Firefox keybindings? I have no idea if
org-protocol works with Firefox on the Mac though.

I can give you a solution for w3m:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun ahkt-w3m-tabs-to-org ()
(interactive)
(let (tabs)
(dolist (buf (buffer-list))
(with-current-buffer buf
(if (and (eq major-mode 'w3m-mode))
(push (org-make-link-string w3m-current-url w3m-current-title)
tabs))))
(kill-new (mapconcat 'identity tabs "\n"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
