Bookmarks are now stored in an SQLite database named places.sqlite. If you have old-style bookmarks in a file called bookmarks.html on one PC, transfer that file to the other PC. On that second PC: 1. Launch SeaMonkey. 2. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks]. 3. On the Bookmarks Manager menu bar, select [Tools > Import HTML]. 4. On the Import Wizard window, select the File radio button and then the Next button. 5. On the Import Bookmarks File file-selection window, navigate to where you placed the bookmarks.html, select that file, and then select the Open button. If, as I do, you use your bookmarks as the SeaMonkey home page, let me know here. I will give you instructions on how to make that work. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
