Not exactly this (and what is current with many windows and tabs?), but it 
seems that when Firefox
owns a selection, you can ask it not only for the text but also for the URL:

$ xclip -selection clipboard -o -t text/plain
A GNU Emacs major mode for keeping notes, authoring documents,
computational notebooks, literate programming, maintaining to-do lists,
planning projects, and more \u2014 in a fast and effective plain text
system.

$ xclip -selection clipboard -o -t text/x-moz-url-priv
https://orgmode.org/

$ xclip -selection clipboard -o -t TARGETS
TIMESTAMP
TARGETS
MULTIPLE
SAVE_TARGETS
text/html
text/_moz_htmlcontext
text/_moz_htmlinfo
UTF8_STRING
COMPOUND_TEXT
TEXT
STRING
text/plain;charset=utf-8
text/plain
text/x-moz-url-priv
