Fanfiction.Net Gives Me Trouble

I had hoped this latest version would help me update the stories I follow on fanfiction.net. Unfortunately, I have only more errors. First I got an error saying:

"HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url:https://www.fanfiction.net/s/126004882/1/'(403)."

So I changed my browser to Firefox and changed the browser_cache_path to:
Spoiler:

C:\Users\<my-username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2 oc00l9a.default-release\cache2

I now get a different error:

"Directory does not contain a known browser cache type: 'C:\Program Files\Calibre2'"

Now I am really confused. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

************************************************** ***
Copy of Safe.ini:

[defaults]
is_adult:true


## Fanfiction.net workaround start
## 1. Figure out where your browser cache directory is and in personal.ini (see INI File page for location)
## set browser_cache_path under [defaults]. Many browsers will tell you your cache location if you enter about:cache
## into the address bar. There are additional suggestions listed below.
##
## 2. Set use_browser_cache:true under [www.fanfiction.net].
## 3. Navigate in your browser to chapter 1 of the the story you want to download.
## 4. Click the cover image thumbnail to see the bigger version--if you care about covers.
## 5. Click the author link once if you care about not getting the author image as cover.
## 6. Click through all the chapters of the story. Or, if you are updating an existing story, click the first and last chapters (or all new chapters).
## Note: If you see a Cloudflare page before you see a story chapter page (usually when you first go to the site), that page is
## not loaded in cache correctly. You need to load it again by clicking in the address bar and hitting Enter (remove ?__cf...
## you may see), or by clicking to a different chapter/page and clicking a link back (not your browser back button). You may
## also need to hit Ctrl-R or click the reload button--if you see a 'Resend data' dialog on reload, you aren't on the direct page yet.
## Also see the section below about WebToEpub.(https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...ture#WebToEpub)
## Download story in FanFicFare as normal.
## Alternatively, starting with v4.20, you can skip steps 3-6 and instead set open_pages_in_browser:true in personal.ini. FFF will open
## pages it doesn't already find in browser cache in your default browser to populate the browser cache. This requires that you use your default
## browser with browser_cache_path.


browser_cache_path:C:\Users\<my-username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2 oc00l9a.default-release\cache2


[epub]
include_images:true
keep_summary_html:true


[www.fanfiction.net]
## slow_down_sleep_time:2
username:XXXXXXXX
password:XXXXXXXX
use_browser_cache:true
open_pages_in_browser:true


## This section will override anything in the system defaults or other
## sections here.
[overrides]
## default varies by site. Set true here to force all sites to
## collect series.
#collect_series: true
