Updated seamonkey wiped out all of my profiles and bookmarks
My 8.04 update contained a new Seamonkey browser that wiped out all of my old profiles and bookmarks. Is there any way that I can find them on my computer now or are they wiped out forever?? Thanks!!!

Firefox (and hopefully Seamonkey) stores five backups of your bookmarks in a folder called /home/(lucky)/.mozilla/firefox/(some weird stuff).default/bookmarkbackups.
(lucky) is your user name and (some weird stuff) is different for each of us. Mine is 37ds830u.default. .mozilla is a hidden folder so you will need to press Ctrl + h to see it.
If that exists, you should be able to rename one of the files to bookmarks.html and move it into the parent folder, replacing the one that is there.If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)
My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
