It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WEBBOOKMARK file with the Safari application.
Step 3. Update Safari to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WEBBOOKMARK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The WEBBOOKMARK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WEBBOOKMARK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WEBBOOKMARK file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WEBBOOKMARK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WEBBOOKMARK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WEBBOOKMARK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WEBBOOKMARK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WEBBOOKMARK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WEBBOOKMARK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WEBBOOKMARK to close. However, some background programs may block the WEBBOOKMARK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
