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.
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.
Also same issue with Safari 18.2 on a Mac studio M2 Max, settings doesn't open. I click 'setting's but nothing happens.
