When I click “show all bookmarks” in safari, “time machine” opens instead. What did I do wrong? How can show all my bookmarks? I have safari 5.0.2  
Thanks,

Are you sure it’s opening Time Machine? Because, when I do a Show All Bookmarks, I get a “Cover Flow” view that vaguely Time-Machine like.

You’re right. But it opens history.
