my stylesheet zestyle.css  sets a:hover to parallel what active 
does -- red , no underline   
but it doesn't work in mozilla !!
Mozilla is following the correct specificity rules.

a:link and a:visited are defined AFTER a:hover, therefore they override it and
the hover state is never displayed.

Invalid bug.
marking INVALID. Please change the order of your a: rules, so they match the
standards specification, thanks!

verified.  and looks like the rule order has been changed.

The problem is that a:link and a:visited have the same exact specificity as
a:hover (all have one element and one class).  So the latest one of the rules
mentioned that is applicable is applied.  Thus a:hover should come after a:link
or be written as a:link:hover to make it more specific.
