The bookmark folder I use most often and that I titled "Bank and Health" keeps disappearing from my "Favorites." I know how to restore it using Time Machine, but I would prefer not to have to go through that exercise every time it disappears.
I have replaced the Bookmarks.plist a dozen time, but the disappearing act keeps happening.
I would LOVE to know the solution to this.
Thank you!

Have you Reinstalled the MacOS Yet?:
If this is continuous, then perhaps there is a kernel corrupted, somewhere within the system files -- something particularly related to Safari.
So, rather than restore Safari from Time Machine, reinstall the macOS. Nothing would be deleted; it's just that all system files would be configured to how and where they should be.
The intent is to get Safari to load as intended.
Go Here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery
Use: Command (⌘)-R
Reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac (recommended).

See if Apple has a Solution:
Perform a Screenshare with Apple:
Show the Apple Rep on the phone what you are seeing. That way they can see this from your perspective. Show this to Apple.... Troubleshoot it with them over the phone, using screenshare....
and...
To Contact Apple, Start by using this Information:
As test, if you rename the folder, does the same thing happen? Something short.
If you move the folder outside the Favorites folder, does the same thing happen?
I renamed the folder B and H and it disappeared immediately, so ~ sadly, it failed the test.
Thank you for the input though!

24 hours ago I reinstalled macOS as you suggested. The folder has NOT disappeared, so THANK YOU very much!
Mary
