Answer 1

Firefox is a multi-tabbed browser, so getting the address of each of the tabs is not going to be easy.

You will probably need to make a Firefox plugin that communicates with your C# app and supplies it the addresses of the tabs.

Answer 2

string WebText = "";
foreach (InternetExplorer ie in new ShellWindowsClass())
{
    filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ie.FullName).ToLower();
    if (filename == "iexplore")
    Url = ie.LocationURL.ToString();
}
