Firefox Problem (Vanity)

I have just switched over to Firefox as my main browser and it works great especially after I did the "about:config" tip from KoRn on another thread.

The problem is that I don't get the color change for visited URL's. If I go to Tools>Options>General>Fonts & Colors it says I have blue unvisited links, which I do and can change the color of them, and red visited links which is not occurring.

I'm guessing that there's something that I need to toggle in "about:config" but I'm about blind from scanning through them. I found the ones for the colors themselves but can't find one that looks like it would inactivate the color change.

Excellent - glad I could help, although that surely would have occurred to you sooner or later ;)

I probably last used it in August and probably wouldn't use it again. Sucked me in for a while, but didn't do the job that FF does. I really thought it was very buggy.

Its probably a *little* more customizable, but only with regards to the interface and FF isn't a problem. I like the extensions in FF much better. As far as fast, FF is MUCH faster, and that's based on my experience on THREE PCs using both. Your experiences may differ. And no, I'm not confusing it with another browser.

Try exiting and restarting Firefox for the changes to take effect. If you haven't that is.

I had the same issue and a restart fixed it.

Unless of course you've already fixed it with advice from Eagle9!    =;^)

my mozilla firefox just had a program crash.

it attempted to send an error report to its master but could not locate the server.

just after the crash microsoft asked by way of zone alarm permission to send an error report. it worked.
