I am using an Acer Aspire One netbook running XP. I do a google search using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.22 and get the usual list of search results. Now when I view a website from the search list and then go back to the search list there is nothing indicating that I have viewed that particular page. In the past once you've viewed a page from the google search list the underlined link normally changes colour is is highlighted to show that the page from the list has already been viewed. This enables the user to keep track on what webpages have been viewed and which ones haven't. I'm sure there must be a solution. I have the remember history switched on in the browser, tools/privacy window. Can you assist please. Thanks. Ian Hornby

Do you only have that problem on the Google site?

Google is using a visited color (#551a8b) that is hardly distinguishable from the unvisited color (#2200cc), so may not notice it.
