bookmarks and cookies

Postby derfberger » Sun 26 Sep, 2010 9:24 pm

Lost 10 years of book marks in Sea Monkey, formally Netscape when a malware invaded and forced me to do a system recovery before which had a friend off load all documents. Even those were a mess as when he reloaded they ended up in odd files and the documents were read only.

I lost all book marks both in Chrome and Sea Monky.

From the information that you gave, I gather that there had been wholesale removal of files/folders, with no backup.
If I understand, correctly, what was done, there is no way that the Profile, in which bookmarks and cookies reside, was not damaged. And, this was not done by the malware, and it would apply to Seamonkey, as well as Chrome. As for the cookies, it does not matter if they are removed or not, but if entire files are missing, it is no surprise that there is a mess. Can you open either Seamonkey or Chrome, at all?
