I have my 'visited' links set to red and unvisited links set to blue. After 'visiting' a link, the color remains blue instead of changing to red. I recently, like a few days ago, installed 4.0.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.

  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Thanks for the help. I did that and clicked 'remember my history' and it is now working. I did have to clear the cache also.
