I closed SeaMonkey. Opened it using old profile. Did a Tools->Backup to 
a clean directory and closed SeaMonkey.


I opened SeaMonkey using the new profile. I did a Tools->Restore using 
the file just created.


I received a vague error message but but a spot check of bookmark 
contents showed no errors. The Bookmark Manager displayed two panes.


Yeah!! Perseverance wins out!

Temporarily I have a 64 bit version of SeaMonkey running on a test

evidently a difference between 32 and 64 bit versions of SeaMonkey.


As shown by my sig file, I dual-boot this laptop, so at different 
times I have used 32 bit SeaMonkey (Win7 WOW64) (like now) and 64 bit 
SeaMonkey (Linux x64) and I have ALWAYS seen the two pane version of

Something has changed recently with Bookmark Manager (besides now 
being called 'Library'). Before, the left pane showed folder title 
for top-level folders, plus subfolder titles if you clicked the '>' 
icon, plus unsorted bookmarks at the bottom. Now the unsorted 
bookmarks only appear in the right pane.


But either way, with two panes, you can expose as much of your 
subfolder structure as there is space on your monitor in either the 
left or right pane. This might not help much on a laptop screen, but 
it's really great on a large monitor, and even better with multiple 
monitors![snip]


I do NOT see two panes in "Bookmark Manager".
I am running SeaMonkey 2.49.4 [1] on the i386 flavor of Debian 9.8 [2]
Using the menu choice   Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks
I see a single pane titled "Bookmark Manager" with no apparent way to 
display a second pane.


Richard, on that screen, do you see two sections  in the Left Hand 
section there are listed all the folders (Tags, All Bookmarks, 
Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, etc., etc.) and then, if you select 
one of those folders, in the right hand pane are listed the Bookmarks 
that you have in that folders??


If you don't see two such panes, is the the right hand side of the

I'm up to 12,000 bookmarks these days, and have never had a problem 
moving large folders of bookmarks around using Bookmark Manager.

Thank you.



My bookmarks date back that far too! Since bookmarks go out of date so 
quickly, I never bothered organizing them much until I discovered the 
ability to sync bookmarks between my computers. Access to my bookmarks 
from anywhere suddenly made the organizational effort worthwhile.

too much about subfolders. (I give this patient advice to my 
long-suffering spouse, to little avail -- at heart she's as compulsively 
organized as I am, but she's so overwhelmed by her current mess of a 
bookmark collection that she just can't get started dealing with it...)




Does your computers on same network? if so, the whole profile can be

One more tip -- I now have my first-tier folder structure 'sorta' follow the 
way I organize files on my hard drive. Not that I used a brilliant method there 
either, but since I've gotten used to it over time, it made sense to mirror it 
with my bookmark folder structure. Now when I try to find something, at least I 
have only ONE idiosyncratic system to decipher

I'm up to 12,000 bookmarks these days, and have never had a problem 
moving large folders of bookmarks around using Bookmark Manager.


I have maybe 15 first-level folders, with lots of subfolders within 
each. With that kind of organization, I can easily see the big-picture 
folder structure, and still have plenty of room on the screen to drill 
down within a couple of first-level folders at the same time while 
reorganizing the subfolders and individual bookmarks.


Ohhh you WELL organized soul. That is my goal.

What I have is an ad hoc collection of POORLY organized bookmarks. Some 
in logically nested collections. Many just scattered loose. Some may 
date back to Netscape days.


As you observed, once there is a logically organized set of folders 
there is no problem moving folders or sub-folders to a new location in 
the tree. That's what prompted my post ;/


As an interim solution, is there a way of printing/displaying only 
folder titles while displaying their logical tree structure?


Thank you.

For bookmarks, have you considered adding comments instead of
color-coding?  A comment can be something simple such as #, $, %, *, A,
x, etc, to flag the bookmark.

To add a comment:

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

2.  On the Bookmarks Manager window, select any single bookmark and then
select the More button near the bottomm-left of the right-hand pane.

3.  Now select any single bookmark that you wish to highlight.  In the
Description area, type a character.

NOTE:  The Description area appears only when a single bookmark is
selected.  Whatever you enter will appear below the bookmark.

Alternatively, you can append -- with leading spaces -- flagging
characters at the end of the names of bookmarks.  In this case, what you
enter will appear on the same line as the bookmark.

Whichever way you do this, the characters you enter will appear whenever
you export your bookmarks to an HTML file.  I export my bookmarks every
time I terminate SeaMonkey.  In my profile, I inserted the following
into file user.js:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
The semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line is mandatory.  The
second line is merely a comment -- indicated by the double virgules (//)
at the beginning -- to remind me why I have this.

I do use the description area for passwords. It's a great way to keep 
track of passwords for each site. I also export my bookmarks to an html 
file upon closing SM. I would just like some in red to designate 
important ones. Copying them from html to Word seems to be one good way 
to do it.

As for your passwords, there is no equivalent.  I would question
printing out your passwords from SeaMonkey unless you are going to
deposit the printout in a safe deposit box at a bank.

On the other hand, if you have passwords for sites where you do not have
critical data (e.g., not  personal or financial), you might try
something similar to what I do.  When I set such a password, I first
enter it into a text file before entering it into SeaMonkey.  My text
file does not allow colors, but you could use a Word file that allows
the use of colors.  Just remember that this is not appropriate for
passwords you want to keep secure.

I have three lists of passwords on my PC:

*  One is plain text for passwords for sites where logging-on merely
brings up the settings I want to use.  These generally are for
site-specific forums.   I do not care if someone discovers these
passwords.

*  The second is also plain text but saved with strong encryption.  This
too is for sites where logging-on merely brings up the settings I want
but could be subject to serious malicious actions by others.  These are
generally for sites where I make purchases.

*  The third is a spread sheet that is also saved with strong
encryption.  This is for financial services, modem, router, utilities,
Medicare, Social Security, ISPs, etc, sites where I could lose
significant funds or suffer identity theft.  I change these passwords at
last annually, and no two sites have the same passwords.

NOTE:  All three lists contain passwords that are NOT dictionary words.
They are random strings of letters, numbers, and symbols.  I do not need
dictionary words if I have these lists.

Actually I do put a copy with the bank. I'm not clear on how you enter 
your text files into SM?

Export your bookmarks into bookmark.html then modify this web page ...
It's a one-way action  colors will not be present if you import 
your modified html file.


AnyWay, what part of bookmarks did you want to have a red-color 
attribute ?


When I print the whole list, I'd like some bookmark titles and extra 
info about them to be in red.


Perhaps copy/paste the html file into WORD then select text and modify 
the foreground color ?


I see that does work, but I have 99 pages of BM's. I only need a fairly 
small number to be in red, so I'll have to play with this a bit. Thanks.

into the browser as Word will add so much word-processing code to the file
it will be rendered useless for the browser.

On the other hand, if you have passwords for sites where you do not have
critical data (e.g., not  personal or financial), you might try
something similar to what I do.  When I set such a password, I first
enter it into a text file before entering it into SeaMonkey.  My text

Not sure how to modify the web page?


Does this help?



Export the bookmarks into the bookmarks.html file.
Open it in a text editor.
Edit the bookmarks.
Save the file.

I'm not sure if importing the file back into SeaMonkey would overwrite
the bookmarks or make duplicates.



I believe importing from the exported HTML file will erase your browsing
history.  Furthermore, I do not think changes to the HTML (e.g., color)
will import and might even corrupt the import.


Importing HTML bookmarks appends.  It does not overwrite.


Yeap! As per my earlier reply.

You could always save the modified bookmarks.html as a local file and 
bookmark it, then open it in the browser and go from there.


The downside, of course, is that you couldn't easily add bookmarks as 
you do with SM's native bookmark database. You'd have to edit 
bookmarks.html with a text editor as you just did.


My recommendation is to drag your favorite bookmarks up to the top of 
the list (in the Bookmark Manager) and organize the rest into folders so 
you can find them easily. No colors, sorry.

I believe importing from the exported HTML file will erase your browsing
history.  Furthermore, I do not think changes to the HTML (e.g., color)
will import and might even corrupt the import.

Export your bookmarks into bookmark.html then modify this web page ...


Not sure how to modify the web page?


Does this help?



Export the bookmarks into the bookmarks.html file.
Open it in a text editor.
Edit the bookmarks.
Save the file.

I'm not sure if importing the file back into SeaMonkey would overwrite 
the bookmarks or make duplicates.


I ended up with four copies of my Bookmarks in my Bookmarks file by 
repeatedly re-importing old copies of Bookmarks file back into my main 
Bookmarks file!!

Not a great solution, but better than nothing.. assuming "manage
bookmarks" eventually does load all your bookmarks and you can export
your bookmarks as html (tools / export html).  Run a script to show
all the dups so you know what can be deleted:

$ cat findDupBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file

BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists

grep '[^>]*>//'  |\
 sort | uniq -d

$ findDupBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html
https://lite.qwant.com/


or you can list your bookmarks and run it thru a dead link checker or
somesuch to find things to be deleted or changed to point to
archive.org

$ cat listBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file

BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists

egrep '( *//'\
 -e 's/^ *~~'\
 -e 's/">[^>]*>//'

$ listBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html | head -5

How many bookarks do you have? Any old add-ons managing bookmarks? The

this is a fresh install and all the important stuff has been regularly

I don't use any addons anymore... (aside from Lightning which I can't

Backup your current profile & try restoring your bookmarks:
Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks

You _have_ backed up your current profile - right?  If not, do it now.

You can try deleting places.sqlite and see if that helps.. or deleting
all variants
   places.sqlite
   places.sqlite-shm
   places.sqlite-wal

By nothing happened I meant that I did not see ANY bookmarks at all. Initially 
I e mailed a copy of bookmarks.html to my own e mail and opened it on my wife's 
Mac laptop and then put this on the desktop. That's when I went to MANAGE 
bookmarks to import it but it did not import ANYTHING!



Looks like backup and restore works better. I see them on the Bookmarks 
Toolbar now :)


In your SeaMonkey open Bookmark Manager > Tools > Backup. Make a backup.

Repeat the email process, then in the wife's computer open the Bookmark 
Manager, then use Tools > Restore, select the file and restore it.


SeaMonkey may throw an error the first time bookmarks are restored. Just 
ignore it. Mine restored just fine.

By nothing happened I meant that I did not see ANY bookmarks at all. Initially 
I e mailed a copy of bookmarks.html to my own e mail and opened it on my wife's 
Mac laptop and then put this on the desktop. That's when I went to MANAGE 
bookmarks to import it but it did not import ANYTHING!

Probably imported the email ;)

Exactly, Walt, we don't know what the OP did to get the fail, so how can 
we, reliably, advise how to fix the situation??

Thanks.  Actually I just went to the laptop and had no problem saving bookmarks 
in SAFARI or FIREFOX. It's just SEAMONKEY for unknown reasons!

Well, none of them show up in the Bookmarks Toolbar, but they do show up 
in the Bookmarks Manager, under a new Bookmarks Toolbar folder, after I 
imported them following your method.


You don't see them in the Bookmarks Manager?

Looks like backup and restore works better. I see them on the Bookmarks

In your SeaMonkey open Bookmark Manager > Tools > Backup. Make a backup.

Repeat the email process, then in the wife's computer open the Bookmark
Manager, then use Tools > Restore, select the file and restore it.

SeaMonkey may throw an error the first time bookmarks are restored. Just
ignore it. Mine restored just fine.


Walt.  Thanks.  I did this and I got the warning "UNABLE TO PROCESS THE BACKUP

I got the same message, dismissed it and all my bookmarks were there.

I still use http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html in Windows with 
exported bookmarks as HTML file. It is a tedious pain in the butt to go 
back and forth though. :( Basically, it is a web site checker. Local 
bookmarks HTML file acts like a web page with links like on web servers.

 Original Message 

On 7/20/17 at 11:38 PM, Roger Fink's prodigious digits fired off with
great aplomb:

As I sure some folks are aware, the hotkey F9 will toggle the bookmarks
sidebar on and off in SeaMonkey. I'd like to be able to do this by
mouse-clicking an icon on the menu or navigation bar, but unlike in
Firefox or PaleMoon this seems not to be possible in SeaMonkey, as the
offering in the customization panel will transpose the contents of the
bookmarks dropdown menu to the sidebar.

Not getting what you mean.  If I customize the nav menu by putting the
"Bookmarks" button there, clicking it displays the exact same thing as
clicking the button on the menu bar.


The difference here is that if you have your bookmarks organized into
subfolders, the sidebar will display them as part of the overall tree
within the governing width of the panel.

Agreed.


In the dropdown menu there are
two separate panels one for the folders and one for the bookmarks, and
there is no governing width for the display, which for me is about 1/3
the width of my screen, so there really is no point in toggling the
sidebar.

Again, not sure what you mean. In the drop down menu I see only one
panel, my bookmarks folders, and some actual bookmarks/URLs. Hover over
a folder and it expands to the right and shows any sub-folders and
bookmarks.



I couldn't find any workarounds, including running the FireFox bookmarks
toggler extension through the SeaMonkey extension converter. Maybe
someone can suggest a workaround.



Since I don't have a cloud address at the ready I am going to try, 
probably unsuccessfully, to post a screenshot which explains it better. 
Actually, my bookmarks sidebar is on the right but I disabled UserChrome 
to take this. If this doesn't display all I can say is that I have no 
idea why our results are different.

You might be happier with a bookmarks menu in the bookmarks toolbar.  I
created one by opening the bookmarks manager, dragging "All Bookmarks"
to the right end of the bookmarks toolbar and dropping it there.


  
  Yes, good idea, that does work. I was even able to move it about 80% of 
the way over to the right (where my sidebar is) using the spacers. Since 
I don't use theBOOKMARKS   Bar, I tried to put it on the menu and navigation 
bars, but no luck there.

Best solution of all: fix the button in the Customize panel to make it 
more useful.

Most of the width is caused by the bookmarks at the bottom but even if 
they didn't exist there are two separate side-by-side panels: one for 
folders, and one for bookmarks. The wider drop down version has no 
relation to the bookmarks sidebar, at least on my Win7 computer. 
Basically it just replaces it.

Re: Bookmarks Missing in 2.46

[Frank-Rainer Grahl]

I also set browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true. At the end of a session a 
new bookmarks.html will be generated. I grouped the item in it with 'Manage 
Bookmarks' and moved my must used one up. I use the generated bookmarks.html 
as the homepage and periodically copy it to a safe place. No need to keep a 
100 tabs always open this way. This could be imported quite easily also if 
something gets lost.

Some deprecated js features were removed between 2.40 and 2.46. Unfortunately
there is more to come till 2.49. All add-ons normally shipped with SeaMonkey
broke and had to be fixed. Then again for 2.50. Might mean the death of a lot
of older add-ons. I would check them out one by one in a clean profile. Some
might just need some js compatibility patches. Usually I just look in the

Thanks!  There were 10 backups of the bookmarks going back to June 2016. I 
imported the most recent one.  I saw them appear instantly but then got a 
puzzling, small popup saying they couldn't be imported.  But they were 
successfully imported!  I'm glad as they go all the way back to the beginning 
of Sea Monkey with some really old bookmarks with tips for Windows 98SE and XP 
Pro which might come from the last version of Mozilla Suite (can't recall if I 
was able to import bookmarks from there into SeaMonkey).  I suppose I should 
find time to prune the bookmarks!


I'm going to see if the Stylish code I have for Fx 45.6 ESR to make 
multicolumn bookmarks also works in this version of SeaMonkey.  I also found 
the old Multicolumn Bookmarks code at github and will try it in Stylish if the 
Stylish code I use on Fx won't work in SeaMonkey.  I've never understood why 
Mozilla did not incorporate multi columns for bookmarks long ago in Fx as who 
wants to have scroll down an extremely long and unwieldy column every time 
they want a bookmark?

Thanks.  There are several dates but nothing in there if I choose one and try

I think it may have had something to do with Multicolumn bookmarks that I use
on Pale Moon currently and on Firefox ESR until very recently. Multicolumn
bookmarks is a very old AMO Fx extension that has not been updated in a long
time and, in fact, is no longer listed at AMO.  I had converted it for use in
SeaMonkey with LemonJuice's SeaMonkey Extensions Converter.  Of my 26
extensions, none that I had that were converted ones worked after the upgrade
and I had to remove all of them as SeaMonkey would not even start until I did
that.  I bet when I removed it in Safe Mode that it took all the bookmarks
with it.  That possibility never occurred to me so I didn't manually backup
the bookmarks before removing that extension.


Thanks!  There were 10 backups of the bookmarks going back to June 2016. 
I imported the most recent one.  I saw them appear instantly but then 
got a puzzling, small popup saying they couldn't be imported.  But they 
were successfully imported!  I'm glad as they go all the way back to the 
beginning of Sea Monkey with some really old bookmarks with tips for 
Windows 98SE and XP Pro which might come from the last version of 
Mozilla Suite (can't recall if I was able to import bookmarks from there 
into SeaMonkey).  I suppose I should find time to prune the bookmarks!


I'm going to see if the Stylish code I have for Fx 45.6 ESR to make 
multicolumn bookmarks also works in this version of SeaMonkey.  I also 
found the old Multicolumn Bookmarks code at github and will try it in 
Stylish if the Stylish code I use on Fx won't work in SeaMonkey.  I've 
never understood why Mozilla did not incorporate multi columns for 
bookmarks long ago in Fx as who wants to have scroll down an extremely 
long and unwieldy column every time they want a bookmark?

It looks like 2.46 bookmarks are default for a brand new installation.
There are Google bookmarks that I would NEVER have.  Google (anything to
do with it) is blocked in my Hosts file.  I always remove all the crud
that gets in a new installation of any Mozilla browser.  So, the fact
the crud is there (not just Google stuff but all the other crud) tells
me that bookmarks is a new default installation with none of my bookmarks.

Desiree, have the bookmarks actually been lost or is it just that 
"Multicolumn" is not there that they cannot be displayed??


Might be worthwhile installing an older version of SM, one in which 
"Multicolumn" did work, and then, if the bookmarks are displayed, export 
them as HTML or whatever, so that, when you update again, you have a 
file that can be re-imported!


Just a thought!

Hana Skoumalova pounded out :

Hello,

at work, we have a linux server and SeaMonkey (2.26.1) is installed in
/usr/local/seamonkey, so all users are using the same binary. We all
imported the old bookmarks (bookmarks.hrml) into the new version, but my
boss has an unusal problem with them. Sometimes, when he starts SM, he
discovers that bookmarks are missing and he has to import them anew.
I've checked his directory .mozilla/seamonkey/.default and I've
found several files places.sqlite.corrupt, places.sqlite-1.corrupt, etc.
They have the same size as places.sqlite, but diff say that they differ.
Beside them, there are also two files places.sqlite-wal and
places.sqlite-shm. Any suggestions why his file places.sqlite gets
corrupted?

Neil, have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles. Do you see more profiles 
listed there than you would expect?? If so, close SeaMonkey, put the 
files that you mentioned moving above back where they were then re-start 
SM and switch to one of the other profiles to see if it contains what 
you want.

Different platforms don't matter here, but different Mozilla platform

safe (even between, say, FF and SM), but different Mozilla platform 
major versions may use different versions of the Places back-end.

No that's not the best way. Maybe an easy one or one you're accustomed 
to, but the way you're proposing will result in partial loss of 
information. The proprietary bookmarks.html format cannot convey all 
information of the current Places system. The only options (that I know) 
that will persist all information are:
a) Copying places.sqlite. This will copy more than just bookmarks, 
though, e.g. the browsing history.

b) Use SeaMonkey Sync.
c) Use Backup/Restore from the Bookmarks Manager. Unlike the 
bookmarks.html format, the JSON format used here stores all relevant 
Places data.

No, you did nothing wrong if everything seems to be working okay.  I
also copied places.sqlite from a Windows XP system to a Windows 7 system

He may put it more clearly, but I remember how his workaround works:

>From the Bookmarks Manager, double-click the bookmark.  It will open in
the browser.  Then in the browser, click the bookmark icon to the right
of the address bar, which will show you where the bookmarked is filed.

Thank you - detail search to start after lunch. One of his pages was
giving me ideas that it was doable, if not simple.



Looks like there was as thread from the end of March 2013 that has some 
of this info in it called "How to find a bookmark?"  Will also look when 
I have a moment.

Re: bookmarks, Local folders

[Bonnell Frost]

An update:  I have a good supply of backups, back a couple months 
weekly.  so I went back to my 5 July backup of ljkcbwxt, which contained 
a lot of the carryover Seamonkey stuff, and restored it.  Viola, I have 
my bookmarks and Local folders back.  If my Local Folders got

corrupted in the transaction,, I have a current backup of them as well.

Re: bookmarks, Local folders

[Bonnell Frost]

A note:  I was able to recover my bookmarks and Local Folder access by 
doing a restore of ljkcbwxt from my old backup of early July.  I was 
able to get the newer content of Local Folder stuff  by doing
a restore of Mail from a new backup of the same folder.  I think I have 
fixed by membership by changing the password.

Bonnell, in your SeaMonkey, have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles.

Do you see more profiles listed there than you thought you had?? If so, 
check out the other profiles to see if they contain your missing mail.

Re: Bookmarks missing in 2.19?

I upgraded to 2.19 a couple of days ago.  All bookmarks are missing!
History is intact though.  Is this a known problem on 2.19?  I've been
using SM for years (and Mozilla Suite before it) and I don't recall ever
losing all bookmarks when upgrading.  This is on Win 8 Pro.


Two questions:
- do you have Administrator rights on that computer?  I'm looking at the 
next post below yours.
- How do the backups look?  Specifically the automatic ones in the 
"bookmarkbackups" subdirectory of the profile.  Look for the latest 
undeleted one and then Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> Tools -> Restore


I had a similar problem for a while at work with Firefox.  There was 
something wrong with the setup there and deleted files were coming back 
from the crypt every night.  There is a Firefox addon which validates 
the profile and it was telling me every day that the profile was 
corrupt.  I'd fix but next day it was screwed again.
My bookmarks were being nuked on a regular basis, I can't remember if it 
was every night or every time I rebooted.  For some reason Seamonkey was 
much more robust.


Then they fixed the problem and Firefox was useable again.

The only point of that sordid little tale was that a screwed up profile 
can have horrible side-effects.

Drag and drop works...simply grab the URL from the Navigation Bar by 
it's site icon and drop it wherever you like.  It's become my preferred 
method for Bookmarking.

With SeaMonkey's default theme, it's not a star icon but a little
bookmark-looking icon inside the url box, on the far right.

I can place a copy of Unsorted Bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar, but
next time I bookmark a site (via a single click), it only appears in the

Toolbar.

For now, you can drag the website icon to your Bookmarks Toolbar.
