How long do visited links stay purple?

When I directly click on or open a blue underlined link in a new window (or tab), the link I used to open the new window or tab turns purple, indicating that it has recently been visited. I know that at some point in time, the visited link (purple), turns back to the normal color of light blue. A few years ago, I remember finding an option (I think it was Firefox but I'm not certain) to set the length of time a visited link remained purple. Does anyone know if this is a feature that be changed?

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

  • How to restore visited link state to unvisited

    Hi all -
    I have a pseudoclass which nicely shows a gray background
    after being
    visited.
    After clicking in ie6 browser, the links remain gray forever!
    I am unable to view in the pre-visited state to show a client
    sitting next
    to me.
    I am viewing on my local machine
    There are no cookies being set
    Flushing cache doesn't do it
    Closing browser doesn't do it
    Even rebooting the machine doesn't do it
    I guess my question is, "where is my WinXP machine
    remembering the visited
    state?"
    Anybody know this one? Many thanks
    CSS follows
    a.inactive
    {border: 1px solid #000000;color: #000000;text-decoration:
    none;padding: 4px
    7px
    a.inactive:visited

  • How long should your iPad stay at a full charge

    How long should my ipad2 stay full charge?

    The amount of time left on the battery depends on what you are doing with the iPad. Apple provides estimates based on certain assumptions:
    Battery Life6
    Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
    Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
    Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
    Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
    Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
    Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
    Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
    Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
    Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
    It's impossible to make a judgment on your situation because there are too many variables involved. If you believe you are not getting the battery life you should, then take it back to see about a replacement.

  • I rented a movie from the iTunes app....how long will this movie stay on my iPad?

    I have had my iPad for a couple of years but just now rented a movie for a flight I will be on....how long will the movie stay on my iPad....can you watch it more than once?  Also any awesome games out there to download that will not take wifi or data to play them?   Thanks!

    The unwatched rental will stay on the device for 30 days. If you are in the U.S. once you start watching the movie you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you like, and you have 48 hours in other countries. Bear in mind that if you even start the movies for just two or three seconds and stop it, that starts the timer for the 24 hour or 48 hour time period, so don't start that timers until you are ready to watch the movie.
    I'm not a real big gamer anymore , so I can't help you there.

  • Visited links in Google are not changing color. In Options Colors visited links are purple. Also, the "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." is checked

    I have been using Firefox for many years. In the past year the Google page has stopped showing visited links in another color. Options are normal. Links should change to purple when visited.
    This has been happening for a long time now. There have been several Firefox updates since then. Is it a problem with my system?

    Does this happen with other visited links as well?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Thanks for your helps

    Hi there
    I tried to reinstal a new system , and icloud couldnt bring back the "visited link which marked purple by the system"
    So i swiitched back to old system.
    Seems like iCloud is only backing up bookmarks, well, history partially yes, but not restoring the purple colors on visited links
    It looks like this is somewhere hidden in the system .

    My system is crashing, and this is crucial for me to instal a new system, but on the other hand i cannot loose those link, which are a lot, i mean a lot as i am a writer .
    I really need help about that.
    thanks a lot , really appreciated !

  • How to keep visited links from changing color?

    FIRST, I want to say that it took me 10 minutes to find (accidentally) how to start a new thread.  In my profile?  Could it be any more obscure?
    </rant>
    Yeah, I go to change page properties and make links and visited links the same color.  It still changes, and this happens to be on a page where the background color provides poor contrast to the color the links are changing to.  Is there a way to do this that is not overridden by the web gods?  Or whatever?
    Thanks

    Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.
    Learned HTML from Elizabeth Castro's first edition; then went to DW MX,
    where I am stuck.  Works for me, obviously with imperfections, as I am
    hardly cutting edge multimedial gripping Web designer.
    Thanks for observations.
    I'll ask for help again: I really, truly, cannot find how to start a
    thread on the forum, nor reply to one, and all that.  I don't see any FAQ
    tht elementary, nor anyone to e-mail for guidance.  If you can offer a
    little of that, I will be grateful.
    Thanks,
    Denno
    It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.
     
    There's a whole mix of HTML formatting and font tags in there which were
    deprecated 10+ years ago.
     
    This all means that the website will behave in strange ways sometimes.
     
    Although it can be fixed, it would take hours to debug, explain and
    implement the changes required, particularly if you've never used CSS
    styling before.
     
    You're better off investing some cash in a modern, well coded, CSS
    formatted template which will give you a sound foundation.
    e.g. http://www.projectseven.com/products/templates/index.htm
     
    Then you can add your content and get good results quickly.

  • 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.

    i did a purchase of a game on my ipod and entered my password in to purchase it and then passed my ipod to my daughter and then she has gone into another game and purchased some things without entering my password so obviously when you enter your password for a purchase it stays active for a while so you dont have to re enter your password , but for how long?

    From the manual:
    Your purchase is charged to your iTunes Store account. For additional purchases made

  • Clicked on Links Stays Purple in Safari 5.1

    Why do links on Safari 5.1 stay purple when I clear history?

    I had the same problem, it turns out it is not safari but rather google (at least for me).  I am logged into my google account and had Web History turned on.  Turn the feature off and the purple goes away.  The setting is in your google account under privacy settings.  Hope this helps.

  • How long should a screen stay visible?

    I'm wondering if there are "best practices" for how long to
    keep a screen visible to give viewers enough time to absorb the
    message. I would guess there are different rules for text versus
    imagery.
    Is it one second, two seconds? when is something up too long,
    making the viewer think the animation is no longer
    working/stalled????
    thank you.
