Fireforg has a workaround for Macs:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-devel.php#sec-1.2.6
So you could select the tabs one after another and trigger remember
from the Fireforg status bar menu. (This menu is accessible by right
clicking on the status bar entry.)
I will add an entry to the tab context menu tonight to do this in one
step.
Concerning syncing I'm not sure I get your plan entirely. Is the main
purpose of it to synchronize the tabs between different browsers?
