You should not "just close down SeaMonkey and reopen it".
You should close down SeaMonkey, then replace the config files as you
want them, and then reopen it. it is also wise to remove the parent.lock
file before you restart it after the file replacement with recent versions.
Bookmarks are now stored in a different file. The program will import
the bookmarks.html one time when the new file places.sqlite does not
exist yet. When it does exist because you could not resist the temptation
to fire up Seamonkey before putting your correct configuration, close
down, remove the file, and start Seamonkey again.
When you don't feel comfortable having the bookmarks stored in a database
together with a pile of history entries (like me), put this pref in:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
It will then export the bookmarks back to bookmarks.html when you
close the program.
(I use this file as my browser start page)
