Google links aren't turning purple

  When I use google now,   the links aren't turning purple to denote that I've visited the site.  Rather everything remains blue like I haven't been searching at all .
  It makes everything more difficult.     Does anyone know how to fix this problem.   I reset the Safari tabs,  but it didnt do anything to resolve the problem.
any advice would be appreciated . thanks kindly

If you are in Private browsing they don't seem to turn purple then.  For me when I turn private browsing off, they DO turn purple.

  • Visited links don't turn purple?

    Hi, my visited links never turn purple. What's the problem? My Firefox is set to remember history, I don't see why it doesn't work. The only way to make it work is to uncheck "Allowed pages to use their colors instead of the ones selected above" but that makes every site look like crap. Other web browsers had this working, how can I make it work with Firefox without unchecking that option...?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Why won't my visited links turn purple

    Hello, I'm brand new to Firefox, I seem to LOVE everything about it except one thing. I cannot get the links that I've already visited to turn purple. I know that in Chrome and IE, anytime you click on a link to visit its page, and you go back to the search page (ebay, google, kijiji, etc.) the link you just clicked on will be purple and the rest of them are blue. But in Firefox I cannot get the visited page to turn purple. Please help, so hard to see what I've already clicked on.

  • Safari won't open new pages from Google links

    I'm a bit confused - I'm using Safari on my iMac and MacBook, both with OS 10.4.10, and want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
    Do you think I need to reset Safari in some way?
    Many thanks
    Chris

    ...want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
    That preference setting refers to opening links from other applications in a new window. For example, if you click on a link in a Word file displayed by Microsoft Word, or in an email displayed in the program Mail, the link will open in a new window in Safari.
    To see the shortcuts for opening a link from a web page (e.g. Google) in a new window, go to Safari > Preferences, click on the Tabs section, and read the Command-key shortcuts listed at the bottom of the window. Exactly what those shortcuts are depends on your settings in the checkboxes above. (To see the difference, change some of the settings in the checkboxes and watch the shortcuts below change.)
    I'm not sure what the difference is between the settings on your two Macs. I'd go over the preference settings to get an idea of why they're behaving differently.

  • The Firefox opening page no longer has the full range of Google links.

    My prior version of Firefox had a full range of Google links at the top of the central page (including images, news, etc.). Is there any way to install this on version 4? I used this feature frequently Thanks in advance for your help.

    I am guessing you are using a Firefox default of: http://www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/central/
    Note if you use the Google search from the search bar, that is top right, alongside where you type web addresses; you will get a more standard Google page, rather than a branded firefox page.
    I tend to use http://www.google.co.uk/ you may of course choose nd bookmark any google search page you like, and if you wish you could set google as your home page.
    *See [[how to set the home page]]

  • Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

    For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
    The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

    '''I have the same problem!!
    But in my case, not just Google links.
    The problem happens with all the websites links.
    Please...

  • EMac 700MHz display turned purple/pink. Can't boot from HD and CD

    hi,
    I have several issues here:
    1) My eMac display turned purple/pink from the start
    2) It won't start from either HD or CD. It gets to the grey Apple and the spinning wheel.. After a while of spinning, it freezes and nothing else I can do. This happens on booting from HD and CD.
    Please help.

    try unplugging the cord for an hour or so. unplug it completely, from where it goes into the machine as well as the outlet. if that doesn't work, you could also try a pmu reset. instructions are found in part 6 of this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=34885 let me know if that makes any difference.

  • Spotlight Google search in Safari gives Google links in Cyrillic characters

    It's bizarre, I know, but when I use Spotlight as a quick access to Google, the page comes up with the Google links (Web, Images, Groups etc. at the top; Cached, Similar pages after each entry) displayed in Cyrillic characters in a language I don't know, although the search results are in English, in Latin type. But when I navigate to Google, all the text comes out "normal" in English, in Latin type.
    I presume this is somehow due to settings going astray but I can't find how to locate the settings to change them.
    (a) Does anyone know how this is happening?
    (b) Does anyone know how to fix it?
    For the time being I just don't use the Spotlight Google search in Safari, but it would be a useful shortcut to be able to use it.
    (Posted here on the premise that it is a Spotlight rather than a Safari problem, but also under Safari because it relates to that too.)

    Try quitting Safari. Then select Safari in the Applications folder and Get Info. Deselect any Language you don't want. Close the Get Info window and reopen Safari to see if the problem is corrected. If not, you might try trashing the com.apple.Safari.plist file after quitting Safari.

  • I have a 2nd Display that turns purple.

    I thought this was a problem with the Samsung display and bought a Acer replacement.  The Acer turns purple too on occasion.

    Could be a GPU issue. Considering the computer is about closer to 8 years old you may want to consider replacing it. However you can also take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) to be professionally diagnosed. You can contact one by clicking https://locate.apple.com/country

  • When I apply the Key for a green screen, everything blue turns purple. How can I correct?

    When I apply the Key to an evenly lit greenscreen, anything blue turns purple. How can I correct this?

    There's way too much blue in that green screen
    This is green
    Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

  • Keep resetting firefox, it doesn't keep settings (I.E. to open on my home page), and when opening a tab the 3*3 links aren't there.

    When I set my Firefox to open to my home page, the next day doesn't keep the settings, and when I open a new tab, the 9 click links aren't there. I have reset twice and have no toolbars, but it repeats.

    Hi,
    Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Hope this helps!

  • I live in thailand. my firefox homepage comes up with a google mark and is in thai language. how do i remove the google link and get english language?

    I live in thailand. I just downloaded firefox 3.6.12. I have uninstalled google chrome. My firefox homepage comes up with a google mark and is in thai language. How do i remove the google link and get english language?

    You can set the Interface Language via the Search settings link on the http://www.google.com/ncr site. That should work for the Google Firefox page as well.<br />
    That setting is stored in a Google PREF cookie that you need to keep (allow).

  • Visited Google Links No Longer Change Color

    On my preferred browser Safari 4.1.3, visited Google links no longer change color from blue to violet.  Any fix other than upgrading OS and Safari browser?

    Hmmm, still works in Safari 4.0.4 here.
    I think I'd clear the caches, with one of the many apps that do so, I prefer Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Samsung Stratosphere screen turned purple

    My girlfriend's Stratosphere's  screen turned purple today.  She doesn't have the insurance through verizon either.  She got the phone about 3 months ago.  What are options to fix it or get it fixed?

    I just had the exact problem this morning. I just woke up, picked up my phone and the screen was tinted pinkish purple. I figured I should investigate before calling Verizon, but this is the only other case that I can find. Did you do anything to fix yours?

  • Lost the Google link in my tab bar

    I just recently noticed theat the Google link in my tab bar is gone.  It was to the far right, where a semi-circle arrow now resides.  I added it to my tool bar, but it was nice to be able to just click on it when I woke up my computer.  Could have have unknowingly done something?  I can't seem to find any help via the internet.

    The one long field on Safari 6 actually does both, it is an address field and also a search field based on what you enter. So treat it just as you did the separate search field in older versions of Safari when you want to do a search.
    It you open a new blank tab you should notice that it has a magnifying glass icon and says Search Google or enter an address. If you click on the magnifying glass you will get a dropdown menu that allows you to choose among Google, Big and Yahoo for your searches. It will also have a list of previous searches if you have made any.
