Cant seem to have the links shown as visited after clicking on them. Done the usual google searches but no go so far. When going into about:config it says to keep them for about 90 days. Colours seem to be correct in the Options section. Do tell where am I not changing the right thing to have visited links a different colour?

According to what I have found it is as it should be. Even if I am on the same page it used to show links read. Now nothing same pretty blue colour whether read or not.

Yep done that one OXford. Unread blue read red. The other thing is it does not remember the address I have typed in the address bar. Again I just checked the box and the tick says it should automatically bring up what I have typed. Got me beat so far this time

are you using "private" mode?

Nope. I did have a play with that the other day but that is definitely off now. Thing is I cant remember if I was having the same issue before I used the private mode and went back to standard browser.

Was sure I had done that earlier but did it again to make sure. Same result still no visited links changing colour and still no showing previous visits when typing in address bar. Guess a reinstall of FF may be in order. Cant seem to find another way around it. Morning job methinkslater morning that is:)
