I don't use CoolReader, so I can't say for sure what will work; you'll have to experiment and see. I would recommend, while experimenting, to edit an epub to make sure you're getting what you want and then worry about getting it correctly into FFF's personal.ini settings.
I already tried that. I never changed any of my setting in the personal.ini until after the update and it added the color background. It’s not an issue with CoolReader because nothing else ever has a white background, and Fanficfare stories didn’t until after I updated.

But I tried deleting the background color again in the personal.ini and it didn’t change anything. When I go to the stylesheet.css of a story, I see this:

Code:
body { background-color: #ffffff;
text-align: justify;
margin: 2%;
adobe-hyphenate: none; }
pre { font-size: x-small; }
h1 { text-align: center; }
h2 { text-align: center; }
h3 { text-align: center; }
h4 { text-align: center; }
h5 { text-align: center; }
h6 { text-align: center; }
.CI {
text-align:center;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
padding:0px;
}
.center   {text-align: center;}
.cover    {text-align: center;}
.full     {width: 100%; }
.quarter  {width: 25%; }
.smcap    {font-variant: small-caps;}
.u        {text-decoration: underline;}
.bold     {font-weight: bold;}
.big { font-size: larger; }
.small { font-size: smaller; }
I’m not looking to change anything else, I just want the background to be transparent. Just the text. I can remove the background color on an individual file by deleting it or replacing it with #00000000 and it works, but I can't get FFF to do it with it downloads it. It always reverts back to the white, even if the personal.ini has it gone.

Or, at least, it's supposed to. I found a couple stories that didn't work on while spot testing to make sure I remembered correctly.
I'll have to get back to you about that.
The older version of FFF (I wish I remembered the version) just never created the title page. EpubMerge never removed them because they weren’t there to begin with. And near as I can tell, it’s on everything. I went to AO3 and it’s the same exact thing. The Title Page is always there and when merged it just carries it over:

Here’s what the original file table of contents looks like:



And the merged file:



The first story is mutli-chapter, but the other two are single chapter. Here are the links to them, if you want to recreate it:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25600168
https://archiveofourown.org/works/25694938

Or maybe is there an archive of older versions of the plugin somewhere? I’d happily try and go back until I get to the version where neither issue existed.

I don't think there's a reasonable solution for that.
That's unfortunate, but I understand.
