User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

In framed web page, clicking a link with target to another frame doesn't
immediately mark link "followed", but refresh is needed before the color of the
link changes.

This is quite annoying.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.paavi.com/f/index.html
2. Click e.g. link "2c"
3. The link contents appears to another frame but link color doesn't update
4. Press refresh and link color updates.
Actual Results:  
I was very annoyed to be forced to make unnecessary "update".
Some web-forums become virtually unusable because "read articles"
don't automatically become "followed links" after they have been clicked.


Expected Results:  
The color of the link should have indicated "link followed" immediately
after it was first clicked, not only after refresh.

Summary: Clicking link with target to another frame doesn't immediately mark link "followed" → Clicking link with frame target doesn't immediately mark link "visited"
Is there a Firefox equivalent for bug 78510?  This is probably just another
symptom of that problem.
Isn't this one of the primary features of a browser? Requesting  	blocking-aviary1.0
Flags: blocking-aviary1.0?

It happens to me ttoo with Windows XP SP1.
No problem when I open a link with middle click.

Shouldn't this bug be fixed before Firefox 1.0? It should be a 1.0 blocker... It
is quite annoying...
I have to agree with Haris; this should be fixed before 1.0.  It's a major
detraction from the browsing experience.

afaik is this elementary in browsing  
This is very anoying sometimes, I know frames are old, and are not a part of the
latest web standards, but they still are used...

I agree, this should be fixed before the final release, annoying and I know
cases where people have stopped using Firefox because of that bug.

I'm one.  Actually, I've quit using the Branch and switched to the Trunk, which
doesn't (currently) have this problem.  That and the last tab blanking fix
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248987.

Is this one not in the trunk? If it IS in the trunk, it should block 1.1
release. Hard to tell with no version or target milestone.
Fixed in bug 78510.  The links now become :visited when the frames load.
