I've been having an issue with FFN for a while (within the last several weeks) where the fic is updated but every single new chapter except the first fails. I've updated Calibre to 7.24, Fanficfare to the latest version, restarted Calibre and Firefox (my default browser), cleared Firefox's FFN cache, and set the browser cache age limit to -1. The only change has been for the worse, because now FFF doesn't open the webpages automatically on Firefox anymore and just keeps giving me 'Page not found or expired' errors despite me manually opening the page in Firefox anew. Please help!

Below are my browser cache and FFN-related settings:
Spoiler:


browser_cache_path:/Users/redacted/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/y4x4faz1.default-1671202703436/cache2

# It's common for browser cached files to be kept for several hours
## or more. You can limit the age of cached files FFF will use from
## browser_cache_path with browser_cache_age_limit. Only cached files
## that were downloaded within 'browser_cache_age_limit' hours will be
## used. If set to -1, all cached files will be used.
browser_cache_age_limit:-1

## If browser_cache_path is set *and* use_browser_cache:true *and*
## use_browser_cache_only:true, then you can also set
## open_pages_in_browser:true then FFF to attempt to open each page it
## can't already find in browser cache in your default browser, then
## check for it in the cache again. Note that your browser_cache_path
## setting *must* use your default browser for this to work.
open_pages_in_browser:true

## Because some adapters can pull chapter URLs from human posts, the
## odds of errors in the chapter URLs can be higher for some
## sites/stories. You can set continue_on_chapter_error:true to
## continue on after failing to download a chapter and instead record
## an error message in the ebook for that chapter.
continue_on_chapter_error:true


## Append this to chapter titles that errored. Only used with
## continue_on_chapter_error:true
## Set empty to not mark failed chapters.
chapter_title_error_markCHAPTER ERROR)

[www.fanfiction.net]
## use_basic_cache:true
## Using cloudscraper can satisfy the first couple levels of
## Cloudflare bot-proofing, but not all levels. Older versions of
## OpenSSL will also raise problems, so versions of Calibre older than
## v5 will probably fail. Only a few sites are configured with
## use_cloudscraper:true by default, but it can be applied in other
## sites' ini sections. user_agent setting is ignored when
## use_cloudscraper:true

## Errors on more common during long downloads. This way, at least
## the chapters the worked are saved. Often running an update will
## fix the error chapters.
continue_on_chapter_error:true

## browser cache will only be used if use_browser_cache:true and ONLY
## for a few sites. Requires a browser_cache_path set in
## [defaults].
use_browser_cache:true

## use_browser_cache_only:true prevents FFF from falling through to
## request from the server when a page isn't in the browser cache.
## You can turn this on to be sure you're only using the browser
## cache.
use_browser_cache_only:true

## If browser_cache_path is set *and* use_browser_cache:true *and*
## use_browser_cache_only:true, then you can also set
## open_pages_in_browser:true then FFF to attempt to open each page it
## can't already find in browser cache in your default browser, then
## check for it in the cache again. Note that your browser_cache_path
## setting *must* use your default browser for this to work.
open_pages_in_browser:true
