I haven't tried restoring a .jsonlz4 bookmark backup, so I don't know if it will restore or no, but as a work-around, in about:config you can set browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true so that SeaMonkey will save your bookmarks at exit to bookmarks.html in your profile directory.

All you get is the one file, which is why I said Which isn't nice as the last however many files saved in the bookmarkbackups directory, but if you do regular backups it's pretty close. 59 files called bookmarks (no three letter extension), bookmarks-1 through to -6, one bookmarks.html, two bookmarks.html.msf (my stuffs up from a while ago).

The .json is also not restorable. I have been making a habit of saving as .html as well all along. .json is definitely a work in progress. With the .html file, when you say you cannot restore any of them, what are you doing?? When I had a problem a while ago, selecting Bookmarks-Manage Bookmarks then, in the Bookmarks Manager, Tools-Import HTML. Then point to your saved bookmarks.html file and away you go.

I'm backing up my SeaMonkey bookmarks by importing them from Pale Moon, which is the only Mozilla-derived browser I'm aware of that hasn't gone json. That is exactly what autoExportHTML is supposed to do - make a copy of bookmarks in the profile as HTML. It is possible to export HTML bookmarks to any directory you like from the bookmarks manager window from Tools Export HTML. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

In the meantime, I assume that you're getting regular backups of your bookmarks, either via regular backups of your data and/or MozBackup. Smith I'm not backing them up at all. The program does it, just as it does for Firefox and Palemoon, both of which are installed on the same machine. I don't use SeaMonkey very often and noticed that the last backup of 0 B is a .json file dated 2014-02-05 or bookmarks-2014-02-05.json. The latest Firefox backup of 56.6 KB is, bookmarks-2014-10-31_538_1sVtqOAs+lJju3U35hsxyQ==.jsonlz4 Maybe the code that creates that file in Firefox isn't recognized by SeaMonkey yet. My experience is similar to yours. The back-ups for Pale Moon are done daily and the most recent is dated today, Oct 31. For Firefox things get a little weird because the dailies run from SEPT 16 through 25 followed by two widely-spaced jsons with randomized file names like you show in October. I'm sure that users going into Bookmarks to make manual backups as SOP (and as I just did for SeaMonkey) isn't the outcome the developers intended. It reminds me of System Restore in Windows 7. It was as if Microsoft asked themselves How can we make this useful feature as difficult as possible? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
