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.
Thanks. I'll try again when I get to that MacBook Pro later (not sure
when). Maybe I can finally upgrade my SeaMonkey v2.26.1 to v2.30! :D
