As FFOX does not provide an API why not adapt @JMichaelTX 's macro for only FFOX.
This stripped-down macro for Firefox does work, but I'd like 1 - 2 simple changes:
At the end, I want the TITLE & URL in a dedicated Clipboard (here it would be: Serial Clipboardx0 , not the System Clipboard).
And maybe get rid of "AppType" and "BrowserApp" - - if this doesn't involve a deep dive into the AppleScript - otherwise let's just ignore it).

There is no benefit to using a Named Clipboard for this use case. Just use a Global Variable instead.
IAC, here's an example Macro that does as you requested, AND it sets a Global Variable "DND__FF_Title_URL" to the same results.
Below is just an example written in response to your request. You will need to use as an example and/or change to meet your workflow automation needs.
Please let us know if it meets your needs.

Thank you J Michael, it's working alright! (And shows how variables can be used!!).
2 Q:
What is the "Type ⌘ F" and "Escape" for?
and why has the "Past Clipboard 0" to be deleted?

To move the focus back from the Address Bar to the body of the page.
I used the System Clipboard as a temporary means of getting the URL.
After I have set a KM Variable to the Clipboard, I want to "cleanup" and remove that Clipboard from the KM History.
