   I did go back to play with elinks today, and it does seem like the text   
   based browser that gets absolutely closest to what I need with the ability   
   to auto save sessions.   
      
   I think that together wish frogfind.com I have found my temporary   
   solution for the terminal! It is also trivial to migrate my open "reading   
   tabs" from firefox to elinks by just doing a save all open tabs, and then   
   massaging the exported bookmarks file a bit and then just open all of the   
   sites from the command line. =)
