      Yesterday, I downloaded & installed the browser. I have Mavericks. I tried to import bookmarks, but was unsuccessful. I searched Help & found out that I have to click on "View" & then click on "Import bookmarks" or something like that. I saw "Import bookmarks" but it was greyed out. Why was it greyed out? How do I import bookmarks?

          Not from any browser. Bookmark.html is on the Desktop. When I installed the browser, I wasn't given the option of importing bookmarks. I don't understand why "Import Bookmarks" or whatever it is is greyed out.

            It happens the same to me. It's so frustrating. I use Windows 8.1-

            Any help?

              Importing bookmarks seems to only work if you want to import from version 12.0. You can access the bookmarks importer even if it is greyed out by visiting opera://bookmark-importer/, but it won't help you. I think they said that they will support other browsers at some point. More problematic is the fact that you can't export bookmarks to html...

                The current version is what - 22?

                Being able to sort & organize bookmarks should be an integral part of the browser. One shouldn't have to install an extension to be able to organize & sort bookmarks.

                I read, I think on this forum, that someone used the sort capability in Finder to organize the bookmarks. That shouldn't be necessary.

                I tried Opera a while back & when I realized that it isn't possible to organize & sort bookmarks, I uninstalled it. It was on & off my Mac in minutes. Likewise, this time. I installed it & then a few minutes later I uninstalled it.

                Get with the program, Opera!

                  In version 22 on OSX 10.9, import bookmarks does not work, even for already existing Opera 12 bookmarks.

                  I wonder if there is even any other browser that does not import or export bookmarks LOL.
