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?
My guess would be perhaps the history file was also corrupted. I think
places.sqlite is the one. There may also be a places.sqlite-shm and
places.sqlite-wal while SeaMonkey is running, and may get left behind if
it doesn't exit cleanly.
If you haven't already done so, make a backup of your profile as it is
now before trying to fix it, in case it ends up even more broken. It may
be worth trying to delete the places.sqlite* files, or recover them from
your good backup.
You might want to check other features which are important to you. If
both prefs.js and places.sqlite have been corrupted, others might also
might be affected...
Mark.
