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
|
OK. Finally got a chance to verify this. Cleaned the cache, verified FireFox up to date, restarted the browser.
Current Calibre version: 5.22 [64bit]
Current FanFicFare version: 4.3.11
Current FireFox version: 89.0.2
Opened two stories on FF.net and paged through each chapter, clicked the author URL, and clicked the stories images for each.
confirmed the relevant sections of personal.ini are:
Code:
[defaults]
browser_cache_path:C:\Users\bryan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4vb4brdx.default-release\cache2
[www.fanfiction.net]
use_cloudscraper:true
use_browser_cache:true
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0
#use_browser_cache_only:false
I have tried both to overwrite if newer (the stories are, one with a single new chapter and the other with four new chapters), and also just updating. Both give same error message in the comment column of the log file for the job:
Code:
Directory does not contain a known browser cache type: 'C:\Users\bryan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4vb4brdx.default-release'
And looking at about
:cache once again confirms the entry:
Code:
Storage disk location: C:\Users\bryan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4vb4brdx.default-release\cache2
I'm not sure what else to do on this, I haven't tried to use WebtoEpub for this but considering the error message I doubt it would allow this to work.
