Is there a way in firefox (via addon or something else) to save a shortcut for all the tabs in a window to my desktop or downloads folder? I don't want to save them into some internal DB of an addon. I want to in one or two clicks save all the open tabs in a window to a bunch of .url files to my desktop that I can put in a folder and come back to in 3 years.

Yes, There is a Firefox extension called QuickCut which does exactly that.
But there is no option provided to do this en masse.
It downloads the website shortcut of the current tab as .URL to your Downloads folder. You can designate the default download folder in Firefox settings.

I just came across an extension described in another answer (relating to a different problem) that includes a mechanism to do essentially this. It's available as both a Firefox and Chrome extension.
Copy as Markdown saves links as [title](URL). It offers a lot of flexibility to save a tab, an embedded image, or other elements. It adds both a right-click menu option and a toolbar icon.
The toolbar icon provides options for saving the current tab, all selected tabs, or all tabs, the results of which are saved to the clipboard:
So with a couple of mouse clicks, you can capture titles and links for all of the tabs, paste that into document or note of your choice that supports hyperlinks, and save it. It pastes as a bullet list.
