Clicking two links to the same URL on the same page will only change the first
one's color to the visited link color.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go To: http://ubersoft.net/d/archives.html
2. CTRL+Click "1996"
3. CTRL+Click "The Beginning"

Actual Results:  
"1996" changes color when clicked

Expected Results:  
Both links change to visited link color when clicked (possibly right when the
first one of them is clicked)


Besides the ubersoft url, you can experience this on this very enter bug page,
using the "recent Mozilla build" and then "Mozilla" links at the top.

Perhaps this should go to the Browser product, but I tried it in seamonkey and
it doesn't mark the links at all.
A) The second link should become "visited" when it is clicked.

Easy to fix.  In markLinkVisited, move all but the first line out of the "if" block.

B) Both links should become "visited" when the first one is clicked.

Harder to fix.  See bug 78510.
