There is a hidden pref with which you can export bookmarks to the quasi-HTML file every time you close SeaMonkey, but it still will not use bookmarks from there but from places.sqlite. We have code that should import the old bookmarks the first time you use 2.1 or 2.2, and it works for most people but apparently sometimes fails. Importing manually from the bookmarks.html from bookmarks manager works, after that, you should not need the bookmarks.html file any more.

MCBastos a exposé le 27/07/2011 : Interviewed by CNN on 27/07/2011 12:42, Bernard Mercier told the world: Even before updating, I didn't have a bookmarks.html file. As far as I remember some comment, it is not used anymore and all is in one place, places.sqlite. Thus such a file can maybe grow considerably. Not quite correct. SM 2.0.x still uses the bookmarks.html. One of the big changes in 2.1 was precisely moving bookmars into places.sqlite -- which enabled a number of new features, such as Sync and the new click-on-the-address-bar-icon method of bookmarking, similar to Firefox's star. Still, for a variety of reasons, Seamonkey keeps the ability of exporting the bookmarks to an html file automatically on shutdown. I don't recall right now if this option is enabled by default.

Re: [Linux] Updating 2.0.14 to 2.2 a disaster for the bookmarks.
I thought I, too, had lost my bookmarks, since they did not appear when I hit F9. However, they were just folded up. Click the + on the Bookmarks Menu and they are probably there. Custom icons will reload when you visit the sites. If you don't find them folded up, they will be at C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\randomfilename.slt\bookmarks.html If they are not there, they may be lost. 20 MB is too big for a bookmarks file. Even with my hundreds, it is only ~300 KB.
