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?

Hello, be sure that you are not in private browsing mode.

also allow the history, go from : Firefox button > Options > Options > Privacy panel > History: select Remember history OR Use custom settings for history

see for more info : Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track


thank you

Does this happen with other visited links as well?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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.

There are other things that need your attention.

Your system details list shows that you have two Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
  2. Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602

You should remove the older Flash 11.6 r602.
