I may be able to help. Before i read this thread, I posted my situation under a new thread/subject "Missing Bookmarks". You gave me some ideas for testing. i have some earlier stuff. I'm now using SM 2.3 but my current profile has been thru upgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 (the upgrade was limited in that SM's help said I was still using 2.3.1 - and the recommended fix did not change anything). -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
