not sure why it is throwing extra spaces in there once it saves the post
that's actually where I got the path to put in place for the browser_cache_path setting
now I did have to reinstall my O/S and applications a couple of months ago since I built a new PC, but if anything, new installs of O/S and applications would normally help and not hinder, right?

Yeah, a clean OS install is always a good thing when you can manage it. To avoid the board sticking extra spaces in, you can just stick the line in a code block like I did below and it won't do that.
By any chance have you tried to go into the Firefox privacy settings and clear the contents of the cache, close Firefox, open it again, then tried to page through the fic again before running FFF to see if it makes a difference?
BTW, as a test, I had a clean Win10 virtual machine that has not had either Firefox or Calibre ever installed on it. I went ahead and just installed the newest versions of both Firefox and Calibre, added the FFF plugin to Calibre, and configured FFF to read from the Firefox cache (I also set the use_browser_cache_only:true option to force it to read the cache only or fail) . Then, I paged through a short 4 page incomplete fic link on FFN.net and tried to use FFF to pull the fic out of the cache. Everything worked as it should have and the fic is in the new Calibre library. As a result, at least so far as Windows is concerned, there appears to have been no change in the Firefox cache structure.
Just to be sure, you have the Defaults and Overrides sections of
personal.ini in FFF set up as follows (the line in red is optional and can be ignored - it just serves to force exclusive use of the browser cache or the operation to fail without trying to download the pages if they aren't in the browser cache. Do note everything below [overrides] has to be manually keyed or copy/pasted)?
Code:
[defaults]
browser_cache_path:C:\Users\bryan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4vb4brdx.default-release\cache2
[overrides]
[www.fanfiction.net]
use_browser_cache:true
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0
use_browser_cache_only:true
