Yes, known issue.  You should be making regular _complete_
backups of
your entire profile folder.  If need be you can simply restore from
the
backup the places.sqlite file into the profile folder to restore
bookmarks and history.


You can also export bookmarks as HTML and import that file to restore
them.  Note that importing appends rather than replacing.


Thanks Ed & EE for your helpful replies.
I had tried the HTML route and wondered why is did not behave as I
expected to replace a deleted bookmark.

My initial objective was to move the established bookmarks from one
machine to another when I discovered the problem.

Would simply copying the places.sqlite file into the second machine
work
OK or do I need to do the HTML import method and edit out duplicates?

Is fixing the restore problem on the SeaMonkey to-do list or in the
too
hard pile?

TIA

Bob, if the restore bookmarks is not working, which it isn't, why not
just Export your current bookmarks as HTML, Copy that bookmarks.html
file to your other computer and then import it there??



Stop relying on the program's export/import functions which don't work.


Sorry, Ed, whilst I'd accept your suggestion to have a back-up, the
export/import method I suggested above *does* work ... it has saved me
more than once!!

Or are you talking about the places.sqlite back-ups failing, which *IS
NOT* what I'm talking about!!



I was referring to the .json restore function which doesn't work. Export
to/import from html is one way to go.  I dind it easier to simply drag
the backed up places.sqlite file from a backup into the profile folder.
But, hey!  to each his own!  ;-)

No, you were replying to one of my post which had nothing what so ever 
to do with .json stuff!


As I've repeatedly stated, the copying *is* possible using .html format.

It doesn't take long to run a small batch file in Windows to backup
what's important to YOU.  Or even use a program like "PureSync" which is
free to home users (donation requested by author).  A simple batch file
like the following will do the job (only two lines required):

copy C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\default\*.*
X:\SeaMonkey\MozBackup\Profiles
cd:c\

Where X = thumbnail, CD, DVD, or external disk drive.

Create the file with an ascii editor line Notepad, save, change name
from X.txt to X.BAT and move it to desktop.

Double click the icon after shutting down SM and viola - in less than 15
seconds the job is done!



This is a very bad piece of advice.  It's an arcance approach (which I 
like) but is not supportable for non-geeks.


Get a real backup program.  There are several free ones although I have 
a several-seat license for Todo Backup from




It works.

If you do not have a backup strategy?  Don't call me (not if) when your 
system dies.  Because it will.  I've been doing this since 1982.  Your 
system WILL crash.  If you have no backup and recovery strategy, well, 
you get no sympathy here.

Have a total backup of your profile.  If you have an issue with 
bookmarks simply copy your most recent backup of "places.sqlite" back 
into your profile folder.


Good God!  I've been preaching about this in this forum for about 15 
years!  MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS.  And no, not using Mozbackup.  Get a real 
backup program that makes an image of your drives and info and that lets 
you recover the same.

Ok - my reply was directed at Ed Mullen's comments, but I think your
problem was already addressed.  I agree, HTML exporting and importing
really sucks.  And unfortunately exporting and importing with .json has
been removed.

Best thing to do is to go to your profile directory and copy
places.sqlite to a removable gadget and copy from there to your other
computer's profile directory replacing the places.sqlite file there.

Copying the places.sqlite file should do the trick.  Do it with SM 
closed then start SM to effect the change.


The bookmarks restore issue from json is one still being worked on from 
what I can tell.  Frankly, it seems to be something of a cluster-f**k. 
And let's not blame the SeaMonkey guys-they're inheriting all this from 
Firefox.  You know, those guys with millions of dollars of funding from 
the Google, Yahoo, etc. contracts?  And corporate backing.  Yeah, those guy.


I don't worry about it because my automated backups every night 
take an image of my C: drive containing my Mozilla/SeaMonkey profiles. 
If I need to restore something it's there for the copying.  And I'm 
online everyday all day so I know if something is screwed up and I need 
to do a restore.  So 3 backups works for me.


I will refrain from characterizing anyone who doesn't have such a backup 
plan as an idiot as I have done in the past.  And I apologize to anyone 
to whom I have done that.


Even though, if are guilty of such an omission, sigh, well, ya know?

And when you then ask here about how to recover from catastrophic 
failure and have NO backups?  You won't hear from me.  I'll be busy 
holding my head, shaking it, and going:  "Good God!!!  What is WRONG 
with these people?!!!"  ;-)

Re: Bookmark file

[Chris Ilias]

On 12-03-12 10:20 PM, _Mort_ spoke thusly:


I have a similar problem with my address books. When importing
"everything" from my Windows XP SP3 to my new Windows 7 Pro, the address
books(collected addresses and regular address book) did not come
through. I have new collected addresses now on the Win 7 H.D., but not
the abook ones. Is there an analogous way that I can import my address
books from the Win XP to the Win7?

Bookmarks are now stored in an SQLite database named places.sqlite.

If you have old-style bookmarks in a file called bookmarks.html on one
PC, transfer that file to the other PC.  On that second PC:

1.  Launch SeaMonkey.

2.  On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Bookmarks>  Manage Bookmarks].

3.  On the Bookmarks Manager menu bar, select [Tools>  Import HTML].

4.  On the Import Wizard window, select the File radio button and then
the Next button.

5.  On the Import Bookmarks File file-selection window, navigate to
where you placed the bookmarks.html, select that file, and then select
the Open button.

If, as I do, you use your bookmarks as the SeaMonkey home page, let me
know here.  I will give you instructions on how to make that work.
