Several days ago, I had a system lockup, and when I did a cold restart
of my computer, Windows reported disk corruption, which I allowed
CHKDISK to fix, and later, I discovered that the corruption was to
Seamonkey's prefs.js file on my main profile.
I recovered prefs.js from a backup that was a couple of days old, and
things are mostly working for me, although I have had to do some
tinkering with a number of preference settings, and reinstalling a
couple of extensions. Annoying, but no worse.
However, since the recovery, I'm having oddness with handling of browser
history, where most sites I'm visiting (but not all) aren't turning up
in history, either the full history (ctrl-H) or the address bar history,
and links that I'm clicking on aren't changing colors.
Any idea of how to get around this one?
Ultimately, I think that the fix for this one is likely to be a rebuild
of my profile. My profile is actually quite old, possibly one that was
converted from the old Mozilla suite, and maybe even originated in
Netscape. There's a lot of accumulated crud there, and there are other
places where I have issues that I don't see in other profiles.
I've been considering doing a rebuild for some time -- browser things
are easy enough, but I have enough things in my mail client (including a
large POP mail store, and a lot of user-defined mail handling rules),
and I need to make sure I know the specific layout of mail data, so that
I don't have to do so much construction by hand.
However, this might be the push I need to actually take the time to do
the rebuild.
But I'd still like to find out what's happening with the history.
