Try following code for add-ons created from scratch:

var numTabs = gBrowser.tabContainer.childNodes.length;
for (var i = 0; i < numTabs; i++) {
    var currentTab = gBrowser.tabContainer.childNodes[i];
    var currentBrowser = gBrowser.getBrowserForTab(currentTab);
    var doc=currentBrowser.contentDocument;
    // Use gBrowser.selectedTab or doc.defaultView.location to filter
    // doc refers DOM for tab
}

Refer following url for more details:

Straight off the SDK home page is a link for "listing open pages."

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/list-open-tabs.html

Using the SDK is seriously much easier than trying to learn the ins and outs of the old API.
