[*] I would expect restarting Firefox to be sufficient, however.
I'm almost positive that just restarting Firefox works, but I tend to just restart calibre as well. My last laptop was a potato, so it became habit years ago since it would bog down easily.

[*]The Firefox cache dir depends on browser profile. In my experience, most people don't bother setting up more than one profile, but perhaps you did and are switching which profile you pre-cache pages in?
No, I only have one profile. I've gone into the directory itself to confirm that it's only in that path.

[*]Is your disk full? I would expect you to have problems with basically everything then.
I currently have 420gb free.

[*]Something is broken, corrupted or compromised on your computer?
I suppose it's possible. This laptop is fairly new, less than a year old, so I wouldn't expect an issue quite yet (it only does basic searches to known mainstream sites and runs calibre, etc). I'm getting no other errors in my system, and the only other FFF error I've had recently had to do with the AO3 slow down.

As for the aggressive cleaning ... I do have it set to clean up the cache, history, etc after I close it each time. I just don't close it that often. And manually cleaning it doesn't seem to work (in terms of fixing the error). Other than that, I don't really run anything special [EDIT: I do run Norton and it does clean temp files, so I'll look into that], so I would expect more people to be running into this if that was the case. I should probably keep track of how long it's been since I've restarted each time to see if there's something there. At this point, I just know that one day it works, the next it doesn't, and restarting fixes it.

Yeah I have no idea either. If nothing else, if someone else does start having this issue, at least you have this information to add to it. I'll continue doing the restart thing until I stumble over a solution or it's worked out down the line.

Thank you!
