Go to Preferences → Tweaks. In "Change the programs that are run when opening files/URLS" you set the browser you want to open web pages.

For Chrome:
openers_by_scheme = {'http*': '/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome %u'}

For Firefox:
openers_by_scheme = {'http*': '/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox %u'}

Hi,

I think I broke something, because now Chrome and Firefox don't even open the AO3 pages when I start FFF. 😞

This is the section I modified most recently:

Spoiler:

[defaults]

# Dates format (année/mois/jour)
datePublished_format:%%y/%%m/%%d
dateUpdated_format:%%y/%%m/%%d

# --- PRÉFÉRENCES DE TÉLÉCHARGEMENT ---
is_adult: true
include_images: true
jpg_quality: 100
keep_summary_html:true

include_subject_tags:prefix_ships_LIST,prefix_category_LIST,prefix_rating,prefix_status,prefix_wordcount

browser_cache_path:C:\Users\minze\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\\Cache_Data
browser_cache_path:C:\Users\minze\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ZjwI7Fo4.default\cache2

[archiveofourown.org]
#use_archiveofourown_gay:true
#always_login:true

username: HAHA
password: HAHAHA

use_browser_cache:true
use_browser_cache_only:true
open_pages_in_browser:true
browser_cache_age_limit: 4
slow_down_sleep_time:2

Does anyone have an idea what I might have broken?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! That worked (for now)

If it's easier for you, a Yes or No answer is just fine. No explanation needed.

Maybe? Probably? Restricting genre to only ao3categories will limit what appears in genre and, by default, include_subject_tags (ie Calibre Tags).

Honestly, you're best just trying it and see.

Chrome fails with 'no such table: resources'. Firefox opens the AO3 page but never finds it in the cache and eventually returns a 428 (debug logs attached).

Your Chrome case fails (apparently) because of Chrome's new SQL cache. We looked at it in May and supporting it is... problematic. (And apparently it's also changed since.)

But there is a work around:

You can go into Chrome's Experiments flags and change the cache type to 'simple' or 'blockfile'. Enter chrome://flags/#http-cache-custom-backend into the address bar.

Note I've not tested this recently on mac.

I don't have an explanation for Firefox failing. Might be related why some people can only get AO3 /series/ URLs with browser_cache_age_limit:-1 ??

If it's not opening pages in browser, you may have the same issue as some of our mac users--OS forbidding traditional 'open a link from an other app'. See recent posts about openers_by_scheme. Otherwise, I'd check for duplicate [sections] with conflicting commands in personal.ini.

You have a typo in your Chrome cache path (an extra /).

Also, you need to comment out one browser_cache_path or the other. As is, only the last one will be used.

AO3 apparently serves series pages with the header "cache-control: max-age=0, private, must-revalidate", but that sets the expiry time that FFF ignores...

I thought I had this figured out, but apparently not. I was busy today and I'm thinking tired. And I will be busy a lot of tomorrow. So I'll look at on the weekend.

In the meantime, if it works, it works.

FYI, today, I'm not seeing any difference hitting AO3 /series/ URLs with default browser_cache_age_limit:4.0 vs browser_cache_age_limit:-1.

If anyone does still see failure with browser_cache_age_limit:4.0 and success browser_cache_age_limit:-1, I could use to see the debug log for failure and success.

Otherwise, I'm chalking this up to Yet More AO3/Cloudflare weirdness.

Hello Jim

Here's the debug log for success with cache -1

This is my personal.ini segment for A03

use_archiveofourown_gay:false

Thanks, but success by itself is not diagnostic.

It's the failure I really need to see. A contrasting success from the same user at near the same time is helpful.

OK just for fun, I changed the cache to 4 and chose a new story with all the characteristics the same ... I was still successful. I suspect there is some other factor affecting outcomes. Here's the debug log.
