I agree it's a minor benefit, and I appreciate your explanation. Thank you for responding.

For the past week or so, everytime I download a new story or update an existing one, after clicking ok to finish, FFF loops back to the window "update existing list".
If I select yes, it goes through the process, tells me there is no new update.
If I click yes to finish, it loops again and again until I click no.
I'm using calibre 8.16.2 and FFF 4.54.
The only thing in my personal.ini is to exclude author's notes.
All the stories I've been updating are on Royal Road.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

That's a bit baffling.

I have three ideas:

1. There's a bug for RR that's corrected in the latest test version. I don't see this behavior myself, but your settings may invoke it. Try the latest test version, link below in my sig.
   
2. I see you have Action Chains installed--are you calling FFF from AC, or have AC configured to do anything on FFF completion?
   
3. How are you calling FFF for update? Is there a possibility for key bounce or something invoking it more than once? (A stretch, I admit, since it requires clicking 'yes'.)

Just installing the new test didn't make a difference.
So, I uninstalled FFF, totally cleared calibre_cache, restarted installed the new test and it quit looping.
Thanks, so happy it's working without looping again!

Is there a way to automate the process with Action Chains without having to click approval? I set up Action Changes a while ago, but only added update from the plugin. It was just as easy to use the FFF menu shortcut, so I never really used it. It would be nice to eliminate some of the extra clicks.

Hopefully it stays fixed.

Basically, no.

Kovid firmly recommends using the 'Proceed with updating your library' dialog for plugins changing things in the library and FFF honors that.

Recently I've been having some trouble with Ao3 HTTP Errors, mostly "HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url". Sometimes I even get an error when using the "Get Story Urls from Web Page" function (I feel like it was a different error I saw before but this is the one I managed to get just now):

The latter worked better with "use_archiveofourown_gay:true" but the other errors persisted, sometimes even worsened.

I just tried switching to using browser data which works fine, fortunately. I originally wrote this comment due to an issue I had with it but I figured it out. I'll leave it up in case you wanted to look at the other error.

Thank you for the wonderful extension!
