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.

  • 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 sites don't change color

    I have latest version. Default should be to change hyperlink color after visiting. This is not occurring in Firefox. Why?

    Is the problem on all pages, or specifically on Google results pages?
    If you reload the page with the apparently unvisited links (menu > reload), does Firefox correct the styling to show they were visited?

  • 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?

  • How can i made changes in a site at that way that other sites do not change automatically

    when i change a site (index.html), all the other (sub)sites change also with the same settings. how can i made changes in, for example index.html so that other (sub)sites do not change?
    i see that the file extension is .css when i make an new site. then i save the site to index.html and the other sites changes also when i made changes in index.html (i mean the settings)

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but it sounds like you are making changes to a cascading stylesheet (a .css file) that is shared by several pages on your site, but ony want to make the change to the style on the home page.
    You can do this by adding inline css to the home page elements you want to be styled differently from the rest of your site.
    An example of an inline css definition would be something like this...
    <div id="content" style="background-color:blue;">
    In the above example, the div would be styled using whatever you have written for the #content id in your css. It would also then overwrite any background-color declared in the external .css file with the style attribute to make the background blue.

  • Visited sites are not appearing in History on my iPad1. Should I "Restore"??

    Visited sites are not appearing in History on my iPad1. Should I "Restore"??

    Go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing and see if you have that turned on. Turn it off if you do.
    EDIT - I had never turned on private browsing and I just enabled it now. The browser turns a darker color so I assume that you would see that and know that private browsing is turned on.
    Quit Safari and restart the iPad.
    To close or quit Safari - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    One final thought - are you sure that you are looking in the correct folder for your History? You may be in another folder that you created in the Bookmarks area of Safari.

  • 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!
    Larry

    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.

    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.

        Hello Saralynn43. Getting new updates is always fun, but then there are certain changes that can take some getting used to! This may be one of these cases where there may have been a change done to the notification system. What are the notifications that have been affected with the color change? Let us know as we'd like to look into this for you. Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Help please-Text hyperlink does not change color on Safari?

    I have set up certain links on my page to change color once they have been scrolled over or clicked. After publishing my site this feature is not active on Safari, but works on Firefox. I have visited other sites that have been made on iWeb and seen that this feature is active on Safari, so I know it is possible to create this feature. If there are any suggestions or tricks that would help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    I am having the exact same problem. I cross-posted your submission to jaycheryl's thread after confirming, with my pages, your bottom-line observation that Firefox displays the code correctly.
    The only difference in our situations is that I didn't edit any colors. I'm just using one of iWeb's stock themes. Some of my hyperlinks are OK in Safari and all of the iWeb created hyperlinks, e.g. the <next> and <previous> blog navigation buttons are OK even on new pages.
    p.s. I don't see, or can't link to the "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 displayed at the top of the thread?
