Well, from what I understand this is what happens when Seamonkey is
unable to understand the places.sqlite file -- it gets renamed to
places.sqlite.corrupt and a new one is created from scratch. Meaning you
lost all your history, bookmarks and such.
One situation (it's not the only one) where this might have happened is
if you went back to Seamonkey 2.0 after testing Seamonkey 2.1 or 2.2 in
the same profile: the newer version add changes to the places.sqlite
database that the old version does not understand, and therefore
considers the file "damaged."
Looks like something about the upgrade needs a great big warning
somewhere.
If you DID go back to SM 2.0 at some point and are wondering what
happened to your old bookmarks, you MIGHT attempt to rename the
places.sqlite.corrupt back to places.sqlite to check if your old
bookmarks are there. But do back up the current places.sqlite file
before that.
Thanks. That makes sense, I think. I did install 2.1, didn't like it and
deleted it and re-installed 2.0.14.
