Kovid added camoufox (pardon my typo) into 9.15.100 to solve recipe issues with The Economist. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=83

Camoufox has a website at https://camoufox.com/

If you post logs inline instead of attachment, please wrap in both [spoiler] and [code] tags. Attachment is better.

Page https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/till-the-dealings-done-spider-man-marvel-chaos-gacha.39705/reader/page-1?threadmark_category=1 is being returned with Cache-Control: private, no-cache, max-age=0 -- which means the page isn't cached.

Reading it from cache fails a few times, then open_pages_in_browser_tries_limit is exceeded and all further attempts at opening pages in browser automatically fail.

Did you try it without Browser Cache? The Xenforo sites (like QQ) are not used with BC for exactly this sort of thing.

Tried again (had to specifically tell it not to use browser cache as even just deleting the browser cache lines in the .ini didn't work) Now I'm getting "list index out of range" errors, which is why I started trying the browser cache in the first place.

Well, that's weird.

Judging from the error:

...and looking at the code, the only way you should get that is if you are getting different HTML than I am.

The only two reasons I can think of for that are: different site skins; or a slow-roll site upgrade that I'm not seeing yet--and that I'd expect to be announced.

In your QQ user Preferences, what Style do you have set?

It's on the default style Lightened

New Test Version Posted

2026-09-25
- adapter_royalroadcom: Updates for RR's Redesign. Supports both for the moment.

FFF should work now with both RR's "Redesign" and "LegacyUI". Normally, I do not support multiple forms for the same site; I'm making an exception this time.

I tried that style and several others--they were all fine for me.

Attached is a hacked version of the FFF plugin that will dump the entire contents of every QQ page fetched to debug log.

Please give it a try and post the log -- as an attachment, this log will be even bigger than usual.

It actually worked with that version. File is too big, and the site keeps crashing every time I try to spoiler code the debug, so I had to put it in a .rar file

[JimmXinu]

A successful run log doesn't going to tell us anything useful, unfortunately.

I'm inclined to chalk it up to weird transients or blocking specific to you.

Lately I keep getting "HTTP Error in FFF '525 Server Error" when I try to add stories from Ao3 with FanFicFare, even when I try to update stories already IN my library through the add-on, and it's really annoying! What do I need to do to fix it?
