User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) While in frames, clicking links causes them to change color to show visited status. BUT - when Firefox is restarted, those same links then show as UN-visited. Clicking the same links in standard mode (not on a frames page) causes them to change color to show visited status. Restarting Firefox continues to show them as visited, as it should. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click links on a frames page - noting proper color change to "visited" 2. Restart Firefox 3. Links that were clicked prior to closing FF within frames now show as UN-visited Actual Results: Links that had been clicked and properly showed as visited, turn back to Un-visited color after restarting Firefox. Expected Results: The links should have showed as "visited" after restarting Firefox. Not a problem in Safari. Not a problem in Internet Explorer. Not a problem in Google Chrome. I have 1,600 subscribers to my web site. So far everyone is reporting the same problem, PC and Mac users alike.
