Where did my bookmarks in the html file go?
I exported my bookmarks to html. The file opened fine with FireFox and notepad and showed the bookmarks. I copied the file to a thumb drive and it still opened fine with FireFox or notpad. But, as soon as I eject the flash drive, and put it back in, the file no longer can be read or viewed. The same thing happens to the backup .json file. Now I've tried it with saving this page as an html file. It did the same thing.

What is the file system that is used on the USB drive?
Did you check the Properties of the file(s)?
Can you copy files from that USB stick to your computer (Desktop)? Is only that USB stick affected or other as well?

Hello,
Is the USB write protected (sometimes there is a small switch on the side of the USB preventing it from being modified)? Also, did you "safely remove" the USB before unplugging it?
Thanks, other files on the flash drive were readable, and I had always used the "safe removal" before removing the drive. But you got me looking at it some more and the flash drive did have some corrupt files on it. After repairing it, the bookmark html files work fine.
