This is a very old problem. Bug #56418 was submitted about this almost 19 years ago. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56418>. I have a workaround. 1. I set the preference variable "browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML" to True. You can do this either in about:config or put the following in the file user.js in your profile: user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true); // automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file (The second line is merely a comment to remind you why you did this.) 2. In [Edit > Preferences > Browser], I selected the radio button for "Home page" for all of "Browser Startup", "New Window", and "New Tab". I then entered the complete path to file bookmarks.html (which is in my profile} in the input area for "Clicking the Home button takes you to this group of pages:". Now, my home page for SeaMonkey is a HTML-formatted list of my bookmarks. I can use the SeaMonkey "Find in This Page" (Ctrl-F in Windows) to locate any bookmark. By the way, I set this up because I realized my most common task in SeaMonkey involved looking at my bookmarks. -- David E.
