Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:50:00 -0700 (PDT), /erwincas/:
I'm currently using SM 2.5a1 (Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
NT 5.1; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110815 Firefox/8.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.5a1) which
updates every night, but with
the last update my bookmarks gone, I only have the labels and nothing
else. I know this
is a "Nightly" build, so I think that this is a bug.
I hope you've read and understand
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/#testing>:
"To cut things short, we're happy about everyone testing those
builds, but be very careful and keep backups of your data if you do
so, as some of the code you're testing might not have been tested at
all before."
If you find a problem with nightly builds you could always file a
bug <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/community#bugreport>. Just be
sure to follow the Bug Writing Guidelines, especially writing exact
steps to reproduce
<https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Bug_Writing_Guidelines#Writing_precise_steps_to_reproduce>.
Now to the exact problem you're experiencing, I hope you've read the
release notes (the Known Issues) for 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 versions:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#issues
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.2/#issues
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.3/#issues
All of these state:
* Data loss warning: If you use a profile with this or any later
version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.0, SeaMonkey will
rename your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new
places.sqlite file, effectively resetting your browsing history.
This is because the internal format changed and the upgrade process
only works in one direction.
In any case you go back using your profile with SeaMonkey 2.0, even
for just one session, you'll find your bookmarks gone starting with
SeaMonkey 2.1 and subsequent versions, next. You may restore your
bookmarks and history by renaming the new "places.sqlite" to
"places.sqlite.blank", and then "places.sqlite.corrupt" to
"places.sqlite", or you may just import your SM 2.0 "bookmarks.html"
as instructed here:
