Seamony lost my History

[leon]

Hi Guys, I use Seamonkey as my browser, which is practically Mozilla, so I'm told.

Anyway it was updated two days ago which is OK as this happens quite frequently and usually without a problem.

However this time when it updated it decided to loose all my settings and it took me ages to find my bookmarks as such.

It has also got rid of the History button, which i did use often but now i have no idea of how to get it back.

Anyone with any suggestions please, it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

Leon

A quick google always solves these problems http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks this will see you up and running again

For the history button its an add-on for seamonkey so download it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sea...utton/reviews/

Many thanks Jay, I figured it would be simple, just need to know where to look.

Leon...use Mozbackup for backing up settings etc in seamonkey or firefox or thunderbird etc.

Save my behind more than once.

Lol ill still take firefox, lmao chrome as there no.1 speaks for the review and benchmarks, i hate the interface, safaris to basic, opera should have died for being commercial years ago and IE dies all the time due faults and its still using active x which has more holes then a homeless mans sock. It seems that review is just by a few benchmarks and has nothing to do with normal usage, gui likes and dislikes and or security holes and code faults.

Benchmarking browsers is like driving a Ferrari in a 40km/h zone... you're limited to your local speed limit (bandwidth)... and most of the time (i.e. most likely > 99%) the end user wouldn't know the difference...

OIC!

Honestly, most end users wouldn't know if their bum was on fire.

The long and short of it is... and the point I was trying to make(not well tho) is that Firefox is not the standard and it is certainly not the best. No browser is. Their performance changes so often.

I change browsers almost as often as I change underwear.
Many many years ago it was Netscape and Arachne(DOS browser) then it was Opera(until they started charging for it), then it was IE very briefly(I still shiver), FF for a long time but then FF started being really crap, was crashing on me and hogging resources(same symptoms on different systems) so it was time to jump ship again, Chrome for a while, then Opera again, then Chrome again...
Currently have three browsers installed (FF, Opera & Chrome) but use Opera most of the time, it just feels better to me and prints better than any other(currently), but man it sucks hard for Facebook. It has also just recently started garbling the playback controls on youtube.
I switch to chrome for FB and any flash content.
If I could pick what I want from each browser into one I'd be pretty happy.

I still prefer Firefox (mostly for the privacy settings and extensions) but also have a couple of virtual machines, streamlined for web work, in which I do most of my don't-care-who-knows browsing: (1) Chrome on Linux; and, (2) IE10 on Win8. I never really got into Opera, though played around with it. Waaaaay back when, I was a Netscape boy, and played with Mozilla and Seamonkey when they came around, but I always seem to come back to Firefox.
