So I've had my USB loaded with BT5 for a while now, one thing I've noticed is that I can't save, or make new files on it. Like for example, I'll make a random text document, save it to my root folder, when I restart and try to boot back into BT5 from my USB, it just loads windows. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or am I just not supposed to have files saved on the LiveUSB that has BT5?

a live usb is a non-persistent operation system, it is more secure because everything you do is not saved.
However, you can create a BT5 persistent usb OS, http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Persistent_USB

Wow, great link, thanks man.
I have two quick questions though; if I were to make a file on the LiveUSB BT5, but then delete it before I reboot, will it still mess up the the liveusb? Also, am I able to bookmark pages on firefox?

No, your USB will be fine. Even if you don't delete the file before a reboot it won't matter, it will however not be there the next time you boot up BT5 from the stick.
Also, am I able to bookmark pages on firefox?
Yes, you will be able to use the functions of Firefox as usual, except like I said before, any changes you make won't be there after a reboot, i.e. your bookmarks will not be saved.
