Frog,
It is a good idea to backup your bookmarks. Why not go one step better
and back up your entire SeaMonkey profile, instead of just your
bookmarks? I am not sure how to perform a backup of SeaMonkey's profile
as I use a MacIntosh computer. I do know your profile is easily backed
up on Windows using MozBackup. Follow this link to download MozBackup
http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
With a complete backup of your SeaMonkey profile if for any reason your
profile is corrupt (missing emails, bookmarks or unable to be opened by
SeaMonkey) you will have a recent working copy of the profile to replace
the bad/non working or corrupt profile.

I have found what appears to be my lost bookmarks in the following

C:\Documents and Settings\frog\Application

I believe that this is a good start at making my bookmarks work again.
At the present time, however, I don't know how to make them appear
when
I click Bookmarks on my Web page. Do I now have to import the files
from
bookmarks.html into the web browser? If not, how do I get them to
reappear when I click bookmarks at the top of my Web page window?
Please help me or give me a suggestion on where to find the answer to
this lingering problem.
Thanks,

Your html file is the old way that SM used to store the bookmark info.
Now it uses an SQLite datebase mechanism. You must import the html file
into the Bookmark Manager database.
In your browser window, open 'Bookmarks' then click 'Manage Bookmarks'.
In the new window that opens, click 'Tools', then 'Import HTML'. In the
next window, click the 'File' radio button and then 'Next'. You'll be
presented with a Windows Explorer dialog window to navigate to your
HTML
file. Select the file then click 'Open' and away you go.
And this is all spelled out in SM's Help under Customising SeaMonkey.
Thank you for your quick response...it was greatly appreciated.
I did as you suggested and I now have my bookmarks back. I thought the
html file had to be imported but was unsure of that action. I continue
to read and learn about SeaMonkey, however, my technical knowledge
continues to be limited at best.
You may think of saving(export) your current bookmarks into a file
located in a safe place - in case of.
Thanks for a good idea. I think I will make a place on my E: Drive
(primarily used for my data files) for this purpose. Are there any steps
I need to take other than my making a folder (which I will title
Bookmarks) and exporting my current bookmarks to that folder? The
reverse would simply be importing from that folder to SeaMonkey if the
need surfaces sometime in the future-correct? Of course, I will have to
remember to update the contents of this file from time to time.
