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. =)
