There used to be a places.sqlite-journal file as well, which should be deleted from the profile a places.sqlite file is being copied to, but I don't see it any more in either Firefox or SeaMonkey. While I don't know if this is *supposed* to be the right way, what I've done recently when I installed a new computer was just to copy the latest entry in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarkbackups/ to the corresponding location in the new computer, and on the new install use bookmark manager to restore to a previous back up.

That's pretty much the way Mozilla recommends doing it. :-) https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Backing-up-restoring-bookmarks#w_moving-bookmarks-to-another-computer (Link is for Firefox, but that part of it is the same as SeaMonkey.)

That way, you can also backup your entire history. Of course, the file is also a bit bigger because of that. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Please do not use my email addresses within any Facebook service.
