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.
Yes I Understand and I do have. else I would not be using my 2.0.14 now.
From my understanding of what I have been reading, the developers have
no idea how to fix this problem of not converting bookmarks and it can
strike anytime with no warning.
This should be the top number one bug to be fixed.
Honestly I don't understand which part of "the upgrade process only
works in one direction" you don't understand. May be you think
you're smarter than the developers which have given you exact
instructions on what _not_ to do, but you've done it anyway... and
then you've been given number of advises how to recover from your
mistake. I don't think the SeaMonkey developers could invest more
just to make an automatic fix for your mistake. If it was that
easy, they would have done it already.
