Try setting your homepage to:
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul
That opens the Bookmarks Manager. I much prefer seeing my bookmarks as
a Web page. Thus, I export my bookmarks to an HTML file (as indicated
earlier in this thread) and set my home page to that HTML file.
I have also set userContent.css in the chrome subdirectory of my profile
to improve the appearance of the display:
@-moz-document
url(file:xxx/bookmarks.html)
{ body { margin-left: 2em !important }
h3 + dl { margin-left: 2em !important } }
where xxx is the path to my profile (i.e., the path to the
bookmarks.html file).

Insert the following in file user.js in your profile: user_pref(browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML, true); // automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file This causes the export to occur when SeaMonkey terminates. Don't forget the semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line. The second line is a comment. Alternatively, use about:config to set the preference variable browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to True. However, I prefer using the user.js file so that I can comments to annotate why I changed a setting. If you do this, it will help you to remember it in the future. I have had mine set to true for a long time, but I can't find the resulting Bookmarks.html file, is that the name it exports to and where?
