My bookmarks have vanished. I want to re-import from Safari. But the "Import" command in the File menu is not available. What's up?

Firefox works fine. However, my bookmarks toolbar is marked as <empty>. Didn't used to be. I have no idea where they've gone.

So rather than dwell on the loss, I thought I'd move ahead by importing the bookmarks I have in Safari over to Firefox. No luck, the "import" command on the File menu is de-highlighted. I cannot select it.

You can try to recover your lost bookmarks as explained in this article.

Otherwise, you can try to import from Safari as explained here. It explains a workaround to import bookmarks from Safari since the "Import" menu is disabled for you.
