That opens the Bookmarks Manager.  I much prefer seeing my bookmarks as
a Web page.  Thus, I export my bookmarks to an HTML file (as indicated
earlier in this thread) and set my home page to that HTML file.

I have also set userContent.css in the chrome subdirectory of my profile
to improve the appearance of the display:
@-moz-document
url("file:xxx/bookmarks.html")
 {  body { margin-left: 2em !important }
h3 + dl { margin-left: 2em !important } }
where xxx is the path to my profile (i.e., the path to the
bookmarks.html file).

Try setting your homepage to:
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul

This being a SeaMonkey support newsgroup, change "Firefox" in the above
reply to "SeaMonkey".

Insert the following in file user.js in your profile:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
This causes the export to occur when SeaMonkey terminates.  Don't forget
the semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line.  The second line is a
comment.

Alternatively, use about:config to set the preference variable
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to "True".

However, I prefer using the user.js file so that I can comments to
annotate why I changed a setting.  If you do this, it will help you to
remember it in the future.


I have had mine set to true for a long time, but I can't find the
resulting Bookmarks.html file, is that the name it exports to and where?
  Using windows 7 64bit

Jim

Found the answer in a FireFox question

If you do not specify a folder or file name via the 
browser.bookmarks.file pref then the bookmarks are stored as 
bookmarks.html in the Firefox Profile Folder


You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open 
Containing Folder

Insert the following in file user.js in your profile:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
This causes the export to occur when SeaMonkey terminates.  Don't forget
the semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line.  The second line is a
comment.

Alternatively, use about:config to set the preference variable
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to "True".

However, I prefer using the user.js file so that I can comments to
annotate why I changed a setting.  If you do this, it will help you to
remember it in the future.

I haven't tested this, but it should still work:
