Are you saving it as MOBI?

FanFicFare and eReaders

Quote:
FanFicFare's inbuilt MOBI support is legacy code (predating JimmXinu's involvement with the project) and is generally not recommended for use as it has missing chapter markers, missing images, and occasionally poor HTML that breaks indexing. Note that support for the format is also deprecated for 'Send to Kindle' — AZW3 or ePub are recommended instead.

If you still wish to have a MOBI version, it is best to download as another format such as ePub and use calibre's Convert function to change it. This post by Dylan Tomorrow also describes another solution that uses KindleGen.
For missing covers:

Quote:
Kindle may remove the cover of sideloaded books when connecting to Amazon's servers. Connecting your device to Calibre will update the cover and fix this. (This will also update the cover if you change it in the Calibre library.)
