cloudscraper reports: "Detected a Cloudflare version 2 Captcha challenge, This feature is not available...."
I understand this is not a FFF bug, it's a security feature in FF.net that is hobbling FFF. Is there any way to work around it? I tried to add my FF.net login to the personal.ini but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
See the following item in the FanFictionFare FAQ:

Why am I having errors downloading from fanfiction.net? / Why am I getting 'Cloudflare' errors downloading from fanfiction.net?

There is no FFF workaround with this other than the browser cache feature referenced in the FAQ.

If you want a fuller understanding of the issue, you can read back through the last 70-100 pages of board postings preceding this one as the issue has been literally discussed to death multiple times.
