- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17276508, 5 months agoI thought this had disappeared years ago so I wasn't expecting to find a working version. Perfect - thank you.

- Rated 1 out of 5by justj, a year agoIt simply has no effect for my browser. I like the features it claims to have but nothing actually happens regardless of which setting I toggle or leave as default..

- Rated 3 out of 5by owacon, 5 years agoI've created a simple local html file with anchors to a few thousand links I want visited.
Toggle Visited Status works,
Mark (all, selected) Link as Visited does not work. - Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel Saner, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by RobertJ, 6 years agoWorks as described. Ability to do all links, some links or one link on a page is great. Allows me to update links on pages with file lists of 10's of links every month.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if i paste bunch of urls into textarea(simple html i created) then highlight it and mark visited.....nothing work - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12370795, 7 years ago!!! EXCELLENT !!!
Works very well (except when wanting to mark all links as unvisited).
For those who have problems, check the about:config page if the line:
"layout.css.visited_links_enabled"
is set to true. If not, change it.

MESSAGE TO THE DEVELOPER
I don't understand this part:
"Preferences are stored in the browsers local storage unless the browser sync storage is enabled for web extensions.
To enable browser sync storage set webextensions.storage.sync.enabled to true in about:config"
Why do we need to enable: "webextensions.storage.sync.enabled" to true?? If I we don't do it then what?? - Rated 5 out of 5by alekksander, 7 years agothis is truly awesome. didn't think there is a smart WE in matter of link marking.
small tips:
→suggest in prefs that color value is hex
→let us hide it from right click menu
→stay awesome - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13747740, 7 years agoIt just does not work. I right click on a visited link that is purple & toggle the status & it remains purple. Closing out Firefox & restarting FF makes no difference.
FWIW my privacy settings are set to "Remember my browsing and download history", and the about:config option layout.css.visited_links_enabled is set to true.
I am using FF 57.0.4
Not sure how to reply to the developer's response so I'll edit the review.
It doesn’t seem to matter what link I try to un-visit, from either a Google search or a forum.
I just Googled “Office Libre” & this was one of the results.
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?version=5.0.0
Right clicking & toggling does nothing.
Yet I can go into Firefox History & select that link & use the delete key on the keyboard & the link then turns back to blue.Developer response
posted 7 years agoOn some sites it is necessary to enable the option to override the color of visited links, but even that may not work due the css, element style and the structure of the page.
Technically speaking, this plugin is working if the link is added to the browsers history, the rest of the functionality is dependent on firefox itself.
Without knowing what site/page this is occurring on it's difficult to provide any more help. - Rated 5 out of 5by Eugene, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13131053, 7 years agoYep, "Mark all links as unvisited" quit working with FF 56.0.2. Otherwise, for me it remains a very useful add-on.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Terri, 7 years agoThis is an update to my original review made on Oct 11, 2017 (I could not find a way to edit it): After using this add-on for a while now, I still find it amazing and works as it should. The only thing I am finding is that every time I start Firefox, my option settings are gone, and I have to reset them. Every time. Hopefully, this will be corrected.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13322727, 7 years agoIn this update (v5), marking all links as visited takes too much time. Example is one page of Indeed.com searches (50 results per page), and no other addons present. What took the previous version roughly 10 seconds per page, takes this version 1 min 35 sec. to mark all 50 links as visited.
