Can't see a bookmarks list, let alone to reorganize them.

The Help tells me that there should be a "View > Show Bookmarks Bar" option under the View menu.
Following options are available to me (under View):
Actual SIze
Zoom On
Zoom Out
HIde Bookmarks Bar (yes that one exits)
Show Speed Dial
Show Stash (any way to permanently delete this?)
Show Discover (any way to permanently delete this?)
Show Downloads
Show Extensions
Show Themes
Show Password Manager
GRAYED OUT: Show Bookmark Importer (Why the heck is this grayed out, why can't I import?)
Encoding
Show Developer Menu

When I create a bookmark via the HEART ICOn which sometimes appears at the right of the URL bar, I can’t choose a name!! let alone an abbreviation. This is a real drawback.
I’ll want to use Opera but without a decent bookmark utility is is of little use to me. I’m used to hierarchical bookmarks as used under Safari.
I’ve the latest Opera version: V 23.0.1522.72.
Thanks for any help, if possible to danny.lauwers3@telenet.be

I can easily send a partial screen dump showing the choices and saving me and you enormous amounts of time but… this utility doesn’t allow importing any file.
