It works!
...and I have no idea why.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you, especially after you went to such trouble writing out these instructions, but I just couldn't make the time.
Everything went fine until I got to this part:

This will reset the FFF options in Personal.ini and within the Calibre library database to their defaults. It should then prompt you to restart Calibre, which you should do.

I did as you instructed, and when I restarted Calibre I opened the personal.ini, only to find that it hadn't changed at all. Everything that had been there before was still there. I was under the impression that I'd get a bare-bones, default ini because your next step was to manually type in the minimal configuration lines to use the cache.
That was discouraging. I was going to post here asking if that was correct or what I might have misunderstood, but first decided to see if it worked. Unsurprisingly, it didn't.
I came here, saw that a new test version had been posted, so decided to install that. Also installed the latest version of Calibre. Skimmed the discussion on proxy servers since it didn't apply to me and I wouldn't be able to offer any advice on it. Switched my configuration lines from Firefox to Chrome (because I ought to test that every so often).
And it worked. I was able add a completely new fic. I was able to update an existing fic. It worked when I manually clicked through chapters and when I used WebToEpub. And it worked when I had lots of fics in the cache (because it's been a month!).
I'm both thrilled that it's working and annoyed that I have no idea why. I assume it's the latest test version, but I got the impression that it was designed to deal with the proxy server issue.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you again for all your patience and to let you know the latest status. Hopefully I'm not back in the same situation in another week or so....
