When I browse craigslist and click on a header to view the ad, when i go back, i have no way of knowing that i already clicked on a link because the color does not change. I have searched on the internet for a remedy but am unable to find one!

Hello! I think you can try disable your Java or Disable all FireFox add-ons

To disable Java


In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.

However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.

about:config

  1. In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
  2. Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
  3. In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
  4. Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.

To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.

Add-ons

You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as

  • No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
  • QuickJava (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
  • SettingSanity (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)

Thank you and I hope this helps!


Or to disable "plugins" press

Ctrl+Shift+A then press Disable on all plugins

This can happen because Craigslist opens the page in a frame, so you aren't visiting the page directly.

You could try to check that if you right-click the frame and use "This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab" to see if that affects the visit state
