Can I capture the current/all tabs URL with JavaScript/jQuery or would I need to make a plugin?

Question

I want to be able to capture the current URL and/or the URL of all open tabs.

Can I do this in JavaScript or jQuery or am I going to need a plugin in FireFox/Chrome?

"capture (...) URL of all open tabs."

Why don't you ask Chrome for the stored passwords while you are at it?

The answer is: No, you can't.
It would be a serious privacy issue if that was remotely possible.

Stack Overflow question Get current URL in JavaScript? is showing how to get the current URL.

But I am not sure about getting the URL for all tabs.

Like the other posters said, you can’t grab URLs of tabs besides the current one with standard JavaScript. But you can with Firefox / Google Chrome extensions.
