This does not copy the file.
And there are no messages?
cd /home/andy/.mozilla/seamonkey/4e39n1np.default/
cp -f bookmarks.html /home/andy/.mozilla/firefox/mltw8z53.default-1516629000620/A mystery. Your command looks correct. You shouldn’t need sudo privileges since everything is in the home directory.
What is your goal with this command?
Are you trying to keep your bookmarks in sync between seamonkey and firefox?
I searched for a “bookmarks.html” file in my home directory default firefox directory, but I didn’t see a “bookmarks.html” file to replace. I’m guessing the newest version of Firefox is storing its bookmarks in a different way than using an html file.
Have you tried using the Firefox “Import” utility for bookmarks?
I found out that FF keeps its bookmarks in places.sqlite.
If you want a copy of bookmarks.html, you can use about:config in FF or Seamonkey and set it to autoexport bookmarks to bookmarks.html.
All I had to do was copy places.sqlite from Seamonkey to the Firefox profile directory.
Thanks for sharing the fix with the community.
