I'm using the latest Firefox beta, currently 153.0b2. I've cleared the cache.

As a test, I then created a new profile in Firefox. That resulted in a different error message.

My best guess, for now, is that it has something to do with the Firefox version. Possibly changes to the profile or how the cache is managed.

You mean you want to suppress numChapters from appearing in the title page when numChapters == 1?

The only way that comes to mind is to:

1. Make an extra entry copy of numChapters,
2. Change your titlepage_entries to use that instead of numChapters,
3. Add replace_metadata for your new entry to replace 1 and only 1 with nothing: ^1$=> Or exclude it.

I've not tested this, but it seems solid.

Yeah, that error says there' no index in the cache--a check more for when the path is set wrong. You probably need to have hit some pages first after clearing cache.

I don't see anything about Firefox beta release notes changing cache implementation, but it might be considered an internal detail. I don't want to put Firefox beta on my computer, but I'll see what I can manage.

Running Firefox beta (on a borrowed mac) does give the same error:

  File "C:\Users\w8\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plugins\FanFicFare.zip\fanficfare\browsercache\browsercache_firefox2.py", line 183, in _read_entry_headers
IndexError: list index out of range

So I can look at it. But I can't promise I can fix it.

Can you try going back to pre-beta Firefox?

We got lucky this time--it was a relatively straightforward fix. Less 'pythonic' now, but more robust.

I actuallly have custom ao3chaps entry, so it might be doable
