Re: lost bookmarks when installing Seamonkey 2.16
afarran...@gmail.com wrote: I had a very long list of bookmarks that I used all the time, but when I upgraded to 2.16 they were all lost, or did not appear on the screen. Can you tell me where Seamonkey stores bookmarks so that I can have a chance of reinstalling them? Any help will be appreciated. TIA for the help. Try this: From a browser window, choose Bookmarks | Manage Bookmarks. From the window that opens, choose Tools | Restore and select a date before the upgrade, if one is offered. If that doesn't work, post back and someone will offer some more advanced ideas. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Can I copy them back into SeaMonkey from a saved Profiles file or somewhere and, if so, where are they? Close SeaMonkey then Ctrl-Alt-Del and look at Running processes. See if SeaMonkey is still running. If so, End Task and re-start SeaMonkey to see if you get your original profile back. If not, have a look at Tools-Switch Profiles and see if you have more profiles than you expect. If so, switch to the other profiles to see if your missing mail is there.

Re: Lost Bookmarks
Interviewed by CNN on 05/10/2011 15:50, Palikari ATL told the world: Had computer repaired. When got computer home, was not able to access web via SeaMonkey, only MS Explorer. Since system files had to be replaced in the repair, I assumed that SeaMonkey may have been corrupted. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. All cookies, passwords, extensions, etc. were preserved, but all my bookmarks disappeared! Any suggestions on finding my lost bookmarks? I'm just guessing here, but... were you, by any chance, using Seamonkey version 2.0.x previously, and reinstalled with the most current version? If so, you may be having a case of failed conversion of the Bookmarks database. It happens sometimes when upgrading from 2.0.x to a newer release. Fortunately, the remedy for that is usually simple: Open your Bookmarks manager, go to Tools, Import HTML and import your bookmarks.html file. Note: if you were already using a more recent Seamonkey version, this solution might not be the best for you. If so, please supply more details. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...

Re: Lost bookmarks
bfairey wrote: I recently upgraded to 2.1 but my bookmarks have disappeared, Where are they??? Where were they? They may be right where you left them. What did you upgrade from? Bookmarks act differently in 1X, 2.0X and 2.1X. But I still use the same bookmarks for 1X and 2.1X, cross platform. How did you upgrade? I very seldom alter or remove an existing OS or app until I know the replacement is an improvement. I run them in parallel. That way things seldom get lost. This is especially true of anything from Mozilla, things change fast, and not always for the better. I once had twenty versions of SM on a HDD while looking for an anomaly injection date/time, all running the same profile.

S. It's always good to try the obvious solutions first, but yes I did think about that and looked, and no they are not hidden there (that I can see). I even imported the bookmarks.html file and did a find for some of the names I lost, but the file had already been updated and the new folder with its content is still gone. The session is still active, and I'm also noticing that I can't view my history, although the history file is still there, it seems. I thought if they could somehow be restored it might be a bad idea to close SM but maybe that might help... thing is, if I could get them back only by staying in the session, restarting seems like a bad idea. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Look a file called bookmarks.bak. What is the size of that. If its large, then perhaps it contains all your old bookmarks.
