Visited links will not change color in FF 9

Just upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1. When I click on a hyperlink, the color of the anchor text does not change. It remains the default blue rather than changing to purple, even though the settings in options>content>colors indicate that the color of the link should change.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

Visited Links Do Not Change Color

My visited links do not change color.

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the ''Browsing History''.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start 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"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

From time to time when I click a searched link the colr of visited links does not change. It works fine after I delete history and cookies. Can I fix that. I am using windows XP. Thankste

Here's the error message I get.
Note the TC is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my iMac is also connected to the AX via ethernet so it's not a wifi issue.
I can see the TC in the finder so it's not 'gone' from the network either.
Also note that just then the TM system pref pane was claiming a backup error, citing my 'network password' and still refusing to backup. I waited 5 minutes and did some tidying of my office while I pondered this and then tried again and voila it worked ok.

Some visited links don't change color

on some of my hyperlinks (that go to other pages in the same
file) don't change color after they've been visited... example:
they start out regular "hyperlink" blue... then after visiting they
should change (e.g., to purple) but they don't.
I read in the knowledge base that for popups, the color WON'T
change because of a javascript issue... however, the "non changing"
links are not always for pop ups... as stated above.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Visited links don't change color

Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
Thanks!

Visited Sites do not Change Color

Since the recent Safari upgrade, the sites I have visited do not change color. For example, if I do a Google search, click the first link and then either use the back button or the refresh button in the Google search field, the site I just visited is not displayed in a different color. This is happening on other sites as well but not all of them. Project Gutenberg works as I expected.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? It makes searching more difficult since I now mentally have to keep track of which sites I've visited. I realize this problem has cropped up before, but the answers are from several years (and versions) ago.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me,
Frank

You can use code in userContent.css or use the Stylish extension to override the page colors.
I use code like this:
<pre><nowiki>a:visited {color:#e08!important;background-color:#eee}
a:visited * {color:#e08!important;outline:1px dotted red!important;outline-offset:-1px}
a:visited img {background-color:transparent}
</nowiki></pre>
*Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Craigslist headers will not change color after clicking on it

When I browse craigslist and click on a header to view the ad, when i go back, i have no way of knowing that i already clicked on a link because the color does not change. I have searched on the internet for a remedy but am unable to find one!

This can happen because Craigslist opens the page in a frame, so you aren't visiting the page directly.
You could try to check that if you right-click the frame and use "This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab" to see if that affects the visit state

Visited links no longer change color?

my visited links in search have suddenly stopped changing color? how to get back to color after visiting?

I had this problem (or similar). Links changed color as I clicked them, but if I reload the page with all the links, they're all back to "unclicked". None of the above fixes helped.
Things started behaving properly after I disabled all add-ons (and removed ones that were outdated), then re-enabled them one at a time. I can't get the problem to reoccur, so I don't know exactly what add-on was causing it.

Drop down menu button will not change color

I have built a 6 button rollover dropdown menu bar in Flash CS4
On five of the dropdown menus I can get the buttons to change color
On the fifth dropdown I can see the button, but when rolled over I can't get the color to change.
I have moved the buttons on the fifth drop down to the first drop down button and they work perfectly.
Is this a bug in Flash CS4 or......
thank you
Sb!

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

Visited Links won't change color

When I click on a page link or spry menu link, the link
colors work for hover and active, but not for visited.

No it wouldn't. It would mean any text inside a
class='Accordian' would be
blue, as would all links on the page. Surely you meant -
.Accordian a { color:blue; }

Visited links on safari do not change color

Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
I found the link below helped, and it works!
How do I change color of links visited?

Visited links not changing color on iPad Safari or other browsers

Hi,
On my iPad, when I visite a site via an hyperlink and then go back to the initial page, the color of that link is not changing anymore like it is on my MacBook. For example, in Google search, the visited links don't turn violet and remains blue instead. This is the case in Google search, Yahoo but not with Bing. The problem occurs on all my iPad web browsers (Safari, Atomic Web...).
Is it a bug or a config thing that I can fix myself ? Anybody have any idea or did find a solution to this same problem ?
Thank you,
Daniel

Well, I'm a mixed bag. After wasting time and missing the point earlier, thinking that this was about the Google app, today I finally suss to the fact that the discussion's a tually about in fhe browser ...
Anyway, I take a look and, sure enough, the first one I try does pop into a violet color when returning to the results page. I thought it distinct enough to easily notice, and couldn't remember seeing it before (use the app most of the time).
Unfortunately, that was rthe one and only time I saw that happen over the next ten minutes of running searches on multiple topics. All subsequent cycles showed the exacrt same shade of blue on return, and this includes tests run in the middle of and following such steps as clearing the app (cache, cookies history), force quitting the app, and restarting the iPad.
Nothing made any difference. That first time was the one and only time, so far, that I saw the color change.
Also tried a Reset. No change. I guess if it's really supposed to work then a Restore might do it but .... I think not.

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.

Visited download links don't change color (but do in FireFox)

I have a mass amount of files to download listed on a Web page. When I click the link, the file downloads, but the link on my downloads page never changes colors to note that the link has been visited.
Is this a bug and is there a work around for my HTML page? Currently I'm using javascript to change link colors.

Thanks for the input. I tried that, and it didn't work. It appears to work for everything else - just not download links.
Here's an example of my links:
<a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
in my header is
<style type="text/css">
a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {
background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {background-color:#FF704D;} /* selected link */
</style>
Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.
