[SOLVED] HTML file doesn't show same as file preview

[kep55]

I saved a HTML file that had info on a purchase. When I open the file in Firefox or Edge not all of the information in the File Explorer preview of the HTML file. Plus, in the preview, some of the text floats over the main body of the preview and cannot be accessed or deleted. What options do I have to open the entire file, properly formatted?

That purchase info is dynamically generated, not statically saved as part of the HTML.

I do have a folder full of JSON, CSS and other critters from the same site. Do I need to open both?

No.
It doesn't work like that.

Saving the relevant page as a browser bookmark for future reference would have been much simpler.

Got it all resolved. The website owner (an insurance company) FINALLY responded to me so I was able to recover everything. THANK YOU for your help everyone.

html and css are both in the project tree, both in working set on a horizontal split. I included a video in my first post that shows the folder hierarchy... pretty standard stuff— html in root of project folder, css and images and js in their own folders.

I've tried both experimental (which chrome and safari), and regular (chrome obvs), no differences in behavior.

I suppose I'll try a fresh install. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't something obvious, since I'm fairly new to web dev.
