I use RSS newsfeeds in sidebar tabs to efficiently browse my favourite websites. 
if i find a link that interest me in one of these feeds, i click it for reading
in the main window. what i would expect is that that link -- in the sidebar tab
-- turns into a "visited link", so next time i pull up that tab, i would be
notified by the color of that link that i have already seen it. unfortunatly,
that does not happen. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up an RSS feed in a sidebar tab, e.g.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/syndication/feeds/news/ukfs_news/uk/rss091.xml
2. pull up that tab and click on a link
3. pull that same tab again. 
Actual Results:  
bingo, link is still "unvisited"

Expected Results:  
show the link as visited.
