1. Download Safari Technology Preview and test.
This is a self standing advanced version of Safari.
Bookmarks and some of the preference settings will be automatically imported.
A user can uninstall this anytime.
I run two versions of Safari concurrently.
2 There is no self standing version of Safari application. It is bundled with macOS.
Backup and reinstall macOS fro macOS Recovery.

I tried and the preferences came back, although it took quite a long time to reinstall the macOS.

Thanks Dominic,
the problem still persist on safe mode and on normal mode, safari just don't open the preferences window.
is the any possibility of installing only safari? instead of doing all the OS
Thanks again!!
thats only for newer OS versions, unfortunately my Mac is limited to High Sierra.
Any other way?
Yes, I did the same. It was the only way of fixing the problem I think.
Thank you all for helping!
Stay safe
preferences on safari disappear
