One comment suggests running the browser in a virtual machine and restoring from a snapshot at the beginning of each session, which is also what I do and has worked out well. Using Virtualbox, the bookmarks file can be separately mounted on a so-called writethrough image to allow persistent updates. There are some difficulties with the shared clipboard but ssh between the host and vm is a workaround.
