For many purposes, this works fine--Calibre by default updates embedded metadata (including cover) when sending to devices or exporting/saving outside Calibre.
But FFF works on the raw epub. Use Calibre's Polish Book or the Modify Epub plugin to update the cover inside the epub when you manually set it.
I don't know any programmers who haven't been bitten by something similar at some point. Just glad you found it.
If you kept the epubs, there's an option in FFF's Config for 'Search inside EPUB for Story URL" (Basic tab, left column, middle section, bottom option).
But FFF can't read a mobi file the same way.
I just tried converting a WebToEpub epub to mobi then back to epub. The story URL in metadata is lost and WebToEpub doesn't include the story URL as a link. FFF searches for <a href=""> links--searching for plain text URLs isn't done in epub.
However, if you instead convert the mobi to txt (and there isn't an epub), FFF will find the text story URL in the txt file.
You've honestly picked a pretty terrible time to try and add FFF to your ffnet reading experience; what with the cloudflare blocking. And I don't know when or if it will ever go back to 'normal'.

Ehh I still read mostly on the site itself but I like backing up fics I like or long ones for ease of reading. I still have the epubs I tend not to get rid of any files. I switched to Calibre over the weekend when I found out the 3 days I spent organizing all my thousands of ebooks on my Kindle for pc was worthless as there was no way I could find to export or copy them. Main reason I like mobi is that was my first e-reader before kindle was a thing.
