Under MacOS 15 and 15.0.1, the settings panel in Safari will not appear on my 3.6 Ghz 10-Core Intel Core i9 27 inch, 2020 iMac. Clicking on Settings in the Safari menu does nothing at all. I was hoping 15.0.1 would fix it, but it has not.

Yes, once I opened the developer settings, then opened Safari settings everything worked.
This issue is only on my Intel iMac. I don't have this issue on my Apple M2 MacBook Air.
Yes, I also discovered that once you use the Developer Settings to open the Setting panel, it then becomes possible to use the Settings drop-down menu selection to access the panel.
Oddity: on the Intel iMac, the Settings panel has a Passwords tab that is blank/inoperative. On the M2 MacBook Air, the password tab in Safari references the Passwords app. On the Intel iMac, the password tab just doesn't do anything.
Also same issue with Safari 18.2 on a Mac studio M2 Max, settings doesn't open. I click 'setting's but nothing happens.
Frustrating.
I also have the same issue with Safari 18.1.1. Settings doesn't open.
Also same issue with Safari 18.2 on a Mac studio M2 Max, settings doesn't open. I click 'setting's but nothing happens.
Frustrating.
Mac OS 15.2 & Safari 18.2 on a 2019 Intel iMac; same issue. I tried the tip above (opening developer bookmarks), and it worked, but when I picked the "passwords" button (I would think it shouldn't even be there since I now have the Passwords app), it stopped working. I opened developer bookmarks again and picked any other category, and it started working again.
I have this issue with Safari 18.0.1 and am able to access the settings under the Develop drop down menu: Develop > Developer Settings.
