When multiple tabs are loading, it would be quite useful to be able to stop them
all with a single button/command.

Case in point: I have three pages set to open (in tabs) when Phoenix is started
(various webmail accounts and daily comic strips). When I log on for the morning
that's fine, but when I'm heading for something specific it's a bit of a pain to
have to stop each tab manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
--> All/All
--> NEW

reasonable enough request, don't know how much would be required to implement
(will let the devs comment)

This seems a lot more appropriate for an extension. 
I agree, Piro might include it in TBE
(http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en), it fits there.
Suggesting WONTFIX.
even opera doesn't have this

Just because Opera doesn't have it isn't a valid reason to WONTFIX a bug. 
Neither is "it can be added to TBE" for that matter, but its a good suggestion.

An alternative action is to have stop apply to all tabs at once.

I wouldn't recommend changing the default behaviour of the Stop button to stop
all tabs (as that would be more annoying than it would be useful).

Which overlay is the tab context menu in, anyway? That'd probably be the place
to put it...
every toolbar button(except search/location) has a menu item.

reload all is more useful than stop all but has no button

>>When multiple tabs are loading, it would be quite useful to be able to stop them

command/menu is not happening with bug 186694

leaving opened for someone else to resolve this
Reload all tabs is available via context menu

Having taken time to think about this, WONTFIX, as this is relatively an edge
case.  As an extension it would be good for those who want it.  (As a note, I
usually kill tabs with middle click, two clicks and you're done :)
