I started synching my Bookmarks from Safari on my Mac to my iPhone, iPad and other Mac using iCloud. I just noticed that when I choose to show all bookmarks, it now has a new folder under Bookmarks on the left side called Imported 1/06/08.

1. Why is this folder here? Is this just how it integrates bookmark folders?
2. Should I do anything with it?
Thanks.

That sounds more like you (or someone else) imported some bookmarks manually at the time. Did you switch browsers around then and allow Safari to import bookmarks from Firefox or another browser?

If it's empty, there is no harm in deleting it. If there are bookmarks in there, see if you need them or not and put them where you want them, then delete the ones and the folder you no longer want.
