I too have similar problem of bookmarks disappearing but cannot see any pattern when the bookmark.html file is emptied.  I do not use IE Favorites and Opera Hotlist.  I have had no other problem or a crash or anything else with my computer or session of K-Meleon.  The problem has nothing to do with having too many bookmarks, since I have very  few of them, a handful of them.

In my case, the following is what has been happening and how I have been fixing it each time:

The bookmark.html file is not deleted but its contents are deleted.  However, a new bookmark file is created by K-Meleon automatically in the same K-meleon folder by the name bookmark.htmlannnnn where the "a" following html is an alphabet "a" or "b" and the "nnnnn" are some numbers.  When I browse bookmark.html, it is empty.  When I browse the new file bookmark.htmlannnnn, all my bookmarks are there.  The backup bookmark file, bookmark_backup.html may not be exactly like this newly created bookmark.htmlannnn file.  So, I delete the empty bookmark.html and I rename bookmark.htmlannnn to bookmark.html because this is Netscape Bookmark File entered in my Preferences.  I exit K-Meleon and restart/open it again. Now, all is well again.

Even if I create another folder for bookmarks somewhere else in K-Meleon and point my Netscape Bookmark File to that folder, the same problem occurs unexpectedly as described above and I follow same procedure to activate my bookmarks.html.  It is annoying to have to go through these steps so often.  K-Meleon should be backing up the bookmark.html onto bookmark_backup.html and then should be creating the new bookmark file over the bookmark.html file instead of emptying bookmark.html and creating bookmark.htmlannnn.[/quote]
