When you removed SeaMonkey, it (normally) does not delete your profile, which is stored separate from the program, so, again, you may be finding your old profile. In any case, in Firefox, find out where it is storing your profile information such as your bookmarks. I think you might be able to find it listed somewhere under Options. If possible, export your Bookmarks as a HTML file and note where the file is stored. When you know where FF has your Bookmarks, start SM, select Bookmarks and then Manage Bookmarks, select Tools and then import HTML, point to where you stored your FF bookmarks and away you go. HTH Thanks very much to all who helped. Things have certainly changed over the years how stuff is done here and one does not keep up with it!!! Taken a bit of info from all, I did find the FF bookmarks and have now saved it in html form for future reference. Thanks again. Charlie Good to know we've helped you sort your problem. -- Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

That might be OK for a *new* clean install, however your instructions fail to mention this: This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure? I think it's safer to Export the bookmarks in Firefox to html, and then Import the html file into SeaMonkey. That way you won't lose your existing bookmarks. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
