I'm having problems with Safari Tech not loading websites unless I quit it and go back in. I thought I would import my bookmarks and passwords from Safari Tech to Safari but I can't find a way to do it. Or I could export from Safari Tech to Safari. Under File, import/export, there is no option to do this. It says I can import from Firefox but that's all. Any ideas how I can do this? Thanks.

Safari and Safari Technology Preview use the same bookmark files, so there is no reason or need to import bookmarks from one to the other. Safari Technology Preview is exactly that - a preview of future features that MAY appear in a future version of Safari. More like an alpha, rather than beta, version. (Or to use another analogy, a tryout in Poughkeepsie to see if it is worth spending the development money to take it off Broadway or even the Great White Way itself.) So, as the internet evolves, STP will likely be the first to adapt, but that means taking a risk and not everything works every time.
I irregularly alternate between the two, every few weeks to every few months based on experience. Right now I am using Safari as my default browser, because I was having annoying problems using STP on some sites. As far as bookmarks go, the only way to tell the difference I have found is to look at the Application ID on the Menu Bar.

Oh man, I had no idea. I checked and yes the bookmarks and passwords are all there.
