After a recent disk crash I had to reinstall the OS, including Safari. Naturally I wanted to import my old bookmarks into Safari, but for some reason, they left the import feature out of the default settings.

To get it turned on, you need to enable the "debug" menu in Safari. It can be turned on either by using "Tinkertool" (find it at versiontracker.com), or by typing the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):

% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
