Maybe also I'm missing something here, but with my user hat on,how  the backup
system works also is confusing me. If Falkon crashes, I restore a backup, and
then carry on my day. I then close Falkon, open it again, and now my session is
gone when it comes back up. Now both backups have the same timestamp of when I
closed it, and if I restore either one, that's also blank. So it seems like
it's being restored but in memory only, and then sometimes it is saved to the
current session, sometimes not. I can try completely wiping my user state and
see if it works better with a clean slate. 

The idea of profiles and sessions I think overall is good. When I have too many
things open, I like the idea of being able to save current tabs to a state that
I can restore without a completely different sandbox. And for the sense of
saving state as something well-defined, then it makes sense not to overwrite,
however, on the flipside, my personal preference would probably be something
similar to what firefox does, whereby it periodically saves the state to disc
such that when it crashes, which it without a doubt will do, I get back as much
as possible close to where I was. I don't know if the backup system is meant to
serve that purpose, but currently Falkon appears not to be doing that and I
don't know if it's designed differently or if that's a bug or an issue with my
system.
