Charlie, is it possible that the last time you installed SeaMonkey and
then deleted it, you left behind a profile, so that when you installed
SM this time, it found that old profile and just carried on??
Was/Is the profile that SM is using now up-to-date??
This is a new d/l, did not have Seamonkey on this computer before, just
d/l to try it out, I could go to Regedit and try to look for any
Seamonkey leftovers if you think that helps?
The only thing that it said was that it was getting TB account, nothing
else, I thought it strange not asking about FF profile, bookmarks, etc.
TIA
Charlie
Cleanned registry of all Seamonkey files, d/l Seamonkey 2.8 this time
and the same thing happened! Can not find bookmarks anywhere!
TIA
Charlie
Sorry, in your original post, you had "When I had SM before (quite some
time ago!)", so I thought you did have SM installed on this computer.
When you removed SeaMonkey, it (normally) does not delete your profile,
which is stored separate from the program, so, again, you may be finding
your old profile.
In any case, in Firefox, find out where it is storing your profile
information such as your bookmarks. I think you might be able to find it
listed somewhere under "Options". If possible, export your Bookmarks as
a HTML file and note where the file is stored.
When you know where FF has your Bookmarks, start SM, select Bookmarks
and then "Manage Bookmarks", select "Tools" and then "import HTML",
point to where you stored your FF bookmarks and away you go.

Thanks very much to all who helped. Things have certainly changed over
the years how stuff is done here and one does not keep up with it!!!
Taken a bit of info from all, I did find the FF bookmarks and have now
saved it in html form for future reference.
Thanks again.
Charlie
Good to know we've helped you sort your problem.
