Interesting. I briefly checked a MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.8.5's SeaMonkey v2.31 and Firefox v34 web browser installations with my Windows XP Pro SP3's and Linux/Debian's SeaMonkey v2.26.1's places.sqlite earlier today. Newer browsers did not show my copied updated places.sqlite stuff. It looks like the newer web browsers also detected corruptions from these old versions' places.sqlite files like my Debian stable's Firefox (deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-release): -rw-r--r-- 1 ant ant 10485760 Dec 21 09:22 places.sqlite -rwx------ 1 ant ant 20971520 Oct 14 08:28 places.sqlite.corrupt -rw-r--r-- 1 ant ant 32768 Dec 21 09:22 places.sqlite-shm -rw-r--r-- 1 ant ant 590288 Dec 21 09:22 places.sqlite-wal So, something did change but what? I CCed mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey to see if any developers can help us too. :(
There ya go! If you delete places.sqlite* before copying in your new version of places.sqlite, it works. Fire up Seamonkey (or Firefox) and not only will you have all of your copied bookmarks, but it also recreates the -shm and -wal files.
If you don't remove those files first and just overlay places.sqlite, then it'll create the places.sqlite.corrupt file when you start Seamonkey (or Firefox) and you won't have ANY bookmarks.
So for now anyway, the solution is to delete (or "rm") places.sqlite* in the target directory before copying in your fresh copy of places.sqlite.
