Visited Color links=Firefox 10=CSS required ?
Firefox 10 Color Visited links...I read how the instructions on how to "Go into options and uncheck the "web page choose their own colors" but the pages get really get messed up looking *losing their colors and format appearance.
I read where you have to make a usercustom.CSS file and then make a chome dir underneath firefox profile. *visisted links=red" for the command to load. Can somebody give details instructions on what directories I have to make and under profile so my visited links have changed color. I'm an old guy and I really need help remembering what links I clicked on before. Where do I put the CSS, name of CSS? or is this something that can't be done anymore with the new ver of Firefox,, Coloring links worked with older ver of Firefox but not now without messing up the whole web page appearance. HELP and old guy.. :) Thanks

I've seen reports where using the back button doesn't work (Firefox may be reloading the page from the cache and not adding the visited state).
In that case try to open the links in a new tab instead with a middle-click.

Allowing websites to use their own colors works fine on 99.5% of the websites out there. Setting your own custom prefs via a user file can get complicated, and doing it for specific websites would involve a userContent.css file. userChrome.css would affect all websites you visit and might cause problems with conflicting preferences.
Firefox 10 does a fine job of remembering and displaying visited links for every website I frequent, as long as browsing history / the cache isn't cleared.
You aren't clearing browsing history when Firefox closes, are you?
Options > Privacy -> History = Firefox will: remember history
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.
Thanks for responding but saving the history doesn't help. Let's say, I click a link and then hit the back button. It should show a visited color ...NO ? YES ?
I tried this on, USATodaay but it doesn't change color after reading the article. I think Firefox or Web pages changed the coding to prevent the color link change. NO ? YES ?.. Thanks for all your help folks
