Gecko/20030624 does not save history of which www pages have been visited 
(ie blue underline of acnhors does not turn red)after it has been closed down
and restarted.
Ie the browser rmemebers which pages I have visited during a session (links turn
red) but not when I start it up again.
Set to 99999999 via edit|preferences|navigator|history menu 

I am using windowsXP :-(

Reproducible: Always

1.Set history to be kept for ever (ie 99999999 days)

3.shutdown browser
4.restart browser (my home page http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Langdon/index.html 
now all links are blue, even those to pages that have been used today.
