What's the difference? I want to get all open tabs listed, so that I'm
able to choose one and move focus to it.

That's what I doubt. What if you want to jump to a certain tab, but you
don't know its name exactly, nor do you know its possition. There are
also the hotkeys control+1-0 to choose a specific tab, but you see the
same problem. And what happens if you have opened 20 tabs or more?
(Although I wouldn't recommend that, because this can slow down FF).
Perhaps it is possible to include this into the navigation extension?
