<![CDATA[Opera cannot import bookmarks etc from a bookmarks.html file. It crashes every time. Give up?]]>I don't understand why Opera can neither import bookmarks etc from another browser, nor from a saved html bookmarks file on my hard drive. But it crashes / freezes every time. There appear to be no means to do this. If I hear of a method that works, I'll be grateful! But I am skeptical; this is not an uncommon issue.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Bookmarks</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <dl>
            <dt><a href="https://www.example.com">Example Domain</a></dt>
            <dt><a href="https://www.arstechnica.com/">Ars Technica</a></dt>
        </dl>
    </body>
</html>

Does that at least import without crashing/freezing?

Did you try with a clean profile?
