For years I relied on the Sync feature in Seamonkey to keep my bookmarks the

A couple of years ago, that stopped working for me, so I switched to a
commercial service called Xmarks, which worked just as well, and the fee was
modest.
Last year, Lastpass acquired Xmarks with big plans for folding it into
Lastpass, which I also use for passwords. But yesterday Lastpass made this
announcement:
On May 1, 2018, we will be shutting down Xmarks. Your account will
remain active until then. After this date, your bookmarks should
remain available in any previously accessed browser, but they will no
longer sync and your Xmarks account will be deactivated.
What other options are available for syncing bookmarks in Seamonkey?
I set up EverSync (https://www.everhelper.me/) on my home and work PCs. So far
it seems to do the job. The FireFox 13.1.1 version of the extension works in
SeaMonkey using the extension converter. The free version does limit the
number of bookmarks you can have but I thinks its like 5000. The sync only
runs every 30 minutes and from my own observations, probably is not as frequent
as Xmarks but again it seems to do the job of syncing bookmarks and still
allowing you to use the SeaMonkey Bookmark Manager.
Thanks for this suggestion -- I'm testing EverSync on several computers right
now. Setup is a little clunky, and the syncing seems a little erratic (not
reliably every 30 minutes as promised), but probably good enough since I get to
keep using the Seamonkey Bookmark Manager.
Eversync also has a web interface (similar to BookmarksOS) that's nice for
gaining access from other computer or other browsers, but nowhere near as
elegant and flexible as the Seamonkey Bookmark Manager.
For others who may have the same trouble I did getting Eversync to work -- this
information is critical:
