Found the culprit. The text below was in my active userContent.css but 
not in the example file.

/*



 * Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning



 */



@namespace 
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul;); /* set 
default namespace to XUL */



What was that line attempting to do?

I also just verified that SeaMonkey will happily import from the 
indented version. This will simplify manually or semi-automatically 
purging selected duplicates. I've some code rethinking to do ;/


Thank you.

I automatically export my bookmarks from places.sqlite to

Entries and changes to user.js have no effect until you completely
terminate SeaMonkey and then relaunch it unless, of course, you edit
user.js while SeaMonkey is already terminated.  (It is possible 
that the
same might be true of userChrome.css.)  Then, the automatic export 
from

places.sqlite to bookmarks.html occurs the next time (and each time
thereafter) you terminate SeaMonkey.

Furthermore, you are using SeaMonkey under Linux.  I am using 
SeaMonkey

under windows.  There might be differences.

The HTML fragment you attached actually came through!  Usually,

Your fragment is exactly what I get and what I want.  So you might

¿ why would you use 500 bookmarks ???



Have you heard of Murphy? 
I'd have multiple tabs open.
Some of those had been loaded via bookmarks.
Some hadn't.
When time did not encourage a saner option, I created a *nominally* 
temporary folder.

See why this started as an effort to remove duplicate bookmarks?

I automatically export my bookmarks from places.sqlite to 
bookmarks.html

every time I terminate SeaMonkey, which is often since I frequntly
switch between profiles (which effectively terminates and then

Yes. But I suspect a system problem of some sort.

I've avoided addons/addins/etc since the Netscape 4 days - so that's not
the problem.

I've had no cause to tweak userChrome.css nor user.js for >> 10 years.
Is there a bug I would not have noticed?

I've set aside this afternoon to discover some diagnostic test cases. I
*DOUBT* that any explicit diagnostics for this case exists. I was thus

Entries and changes to user.js have no effect until you completely
terminate SeaMonkey and then relaunch it unless, of course, you edit
user.js while SeaMonkey is already terminated.  (It is possible that the
same might be true of userChrome.css.)  Then, the automatic export from
places.sqlite to bookmarks.html occurs the next time (and each time
thereafter) you terminate SeaMonkey.

Furthermore, you are using SeaMonkey under Linux.  I am using SeaMonkey
under windows.  There might be differences.

I think you just solved a multitude of problems.
When I wake up, I'll have to investigate further.

Is there a survey article that would cover that code and its cousins.
I'm not looking for an intro to CSS in general, but for something on 
SeaMonkey's use of it.

Javascript + CSS to hide/display folder contents
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

Allows you to do something like

+ folder 1
+ folder 2
+ folder 3

where clicking on a plus sign shows whatever is in that folder
(and turns the plus to a minus so you can hide the folder contents again)

Lee



It looks like my phrasing led you astray.
When saying "folder" I was referring to what you see when selecting
"Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks".

It might have been cleared if I had said "I have a nested unordered list
which I wish to resemble a directory tree."

A .. sequence is almost right.
I hate bullets. I need smaller indentations. I suspect CSS is the tool.
Thank you.




ul{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin-left: 5;
}

Gets me almost there, but I can't distinguish between "padding" and
"margin".


I think if you don't have a border there's no difference.

The page you gave comes close. There's much that isn't clear. *BUT* I'm

The default indentation is too large causing items to line-wrap.
The presence of bullets serves no purpose and is *UGLY*.

Suggestions?


Javascript + CSS to hide/display folder contents
   https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

Allows you to do something like

+ folder 1
+ folder 2
+ folder 3

where clicking on a plus sign shows whatever is in that folder
(and turns the plus to a minus so you can hide the folder contents again)

It looks like my phrasing led you astray.
When saying "folder" I was referring to what you see when selecting 
"Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks".


It might have been cleared if I had said "I have a nested unordered list 
which I wish to resemble a directory tree."


A .. sequence is almost right.
I hate bullets. I need smaller indentations. I suspect CSS is the tool.
Thank you.




ul{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin-left: 5;
}

Gets me almost there, but I can't distinguish between "padding" and 
"margin".
