If you found Safari and see a message asking about a bookmark , there ’s a simple answer that may have put off you — it ’s obscure .
Some readers see “ substantiate the file you want to load for bookmark ‘ file name ’ ” when they set up Safari . It recur every few seconds unless they use Open with Safari from a communion menu or Control - click / right - click a contact in Safari and choose Open Link in New Tab .

The Favorites Bar contains all the items in yourBookmarks > Favoriteslist . If you have a missing or corrupted bookmarks Indian file or one of the Favorites debut has soured in some fashion , Safari is baffled . It wants you to find the missing file cabinet , typically one that ends in.xml , the format used for the bookmarker file . you could also remove the offending entry in the Favorites inclination , though that may not secure a corruption progeny .
