I briefly checked a MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.8.5's SeaMonkey v2.31 and
Firefox v34 web browser installations with my Windows XP Pro SP3's and
Linux/Debian's SeaMonkey v2.26.1's places.sqlite earlier today. Newer
browsers did not show my copied updated places.sqlite stuff. It looks
like the newer web browsers also detected corruptions from these old
versions' places.sqlite files like my Debian stable's Firefox (deb
http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-release):

-rw-r--r--  1 ant ant 10485760 Dec 21 09:22 places.sqlite

-rw-r--r--  1 ant ant   590288 Dec 21 09:22 places.sqlite-wal

So, something did change but what? I CCed mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey to
see if any developers can help us too. :(


There ya go!  If you delete places.sqlite* before copying in your new
version of places.sqlite, it works.  Fire up Seamonkey (or Firefox) and
not only will you have all of your copied bookmarks, but it also
recreates the -shm and -wal files.

If you don't remove those files first and just overlay places.sqlite,
then it'll create the places.sqlite.corrupt file when you start
Seamonkey (or Firefox) and you won't have ANY bookmarks.

So for now anyway, the solution is to delete (or "rm") places.sqlite* in
the target directory before copying in your fresh copy of places.sqlite.


Interesting. It seems to work so far in Mac OS X 10.8.5's newer web 
browser versions after copying my older versions. I'll probably upgrade 
my older web browsers soon after I am done with Christmas stuff. :)

Thanks. I'll try again when I get to that MacBook Pro later (not sure 
when). Maybe I can finally upgrade my SeaMonkey v2.26.1 to v2.30! :D

Do not understand.  I don't care how many files contain places.sqlite in
their filenames, copying the specific fiel "places.sqlite" should do the
trick.


Yeah, that is how I always did it on mine. Obviously, when SM is not
running unless I forgot to do that. I think I get denied if I try to
copy it if it was in used.


At least on Windows I can copy the file if it's in use.
