Without telling me, my wife upgraded to v.2.3.3 from an earlier version

1) Are these bookmarks truly gone or are they now hidden somewhere? If
they are still around, where can they be found?
They (most likely) are not lost.
2) Assuming that the old bookmark file is still around, how can the old
bookmarks be restored?
See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/FAQ#Bookmarks
3) Does anybody know what might have caused this problem?
Unfortunately we don't know what caused this problem, and none of us
(developers) can reproduce. That said we *know* it is a problem, and
many users have reported the issue. It is not the majority of our users,
but it is enough to be frustrating to use and our users.
4) For a non-skilled user such as my wife, there is NOTHING worse than
having one's carefully saved address book and bookmarks suddenly
disappear. If SeaMonkey is to keep longtime users, developers PLEASE
take note.
We are desperately hoping to find a solution to WHY this happens, and
then can work on correcting it to begin with. The problem with solving
it is that anyone who encounters the issue, no longer has their profile
in the state that caused the issue to begin with. And I have yet to hear
from someone who has an (old) copy of their profile and can reproduce
this reliably with said old(er) copy and the new SeaMonkey.
So yes, we want this fixed, but don't even know where to begin at this time.
