Visited links no longer change colors

Post by Tanster »

Hi,

As I stated above, links that I've read no longer change colors. I've checked in Tools>Options>Fonts & Colors and links are set to two different colors. I've also done about:config and I can't see anything in there to have caused this problem.

While I'm asking basic questions, I also can't find an explanation anywhere for the icons in this forum. I see "static" bells, and sometimes "ringing" bells in different colors, along with what appears to be little pages in different colors. Is there a legend posted anywhere that I've overlooked?

Thanks for your help.

Check to see if the visited links situation only happens on some sites. This browser behavior can be altered by the webmaster for his/her site.

This happens on all sites using FB, but the links for the same sites do change color when I use IE. I also don't see any color change after I read topics in these forums, although they did when I first installed FB.

This isn't a major problem, but it is somewhat annoying, and I wonder what I did to cause this...

One thing that can cause that is having your Tools>Options>Privacy>History set to zero days. It has to be set at to least 1 day.

tenebras_Rex, you would have been better off creating a new Thread than bumping a thread from Nov.2003 as Firebird 0.7 was the current release then. (Tanster was behind with Firebird 0.6.1)

I changed the setting that affects that (Tools[menu]\Options\Contents[tab]\Colors[button])
and it still doesn't show visited links with a different color.

What to do?
