@Cheryl_27

I red all comments after patches pushed as per given link below and they all seems to related to know how can they use other (some) CSS properties through :visited selector, nothing any serious privacy thingy that it is not fixed completely (except dependency). Only one discussion was related to why it is not added in 3.6, because it was EOL.

This indicates the push to mozilla-centeral of 26 patches.

Thanks Grinder. Do tell. Aside from fact it took ~ 8 yrs to fix a privacy issue, & (at least) they may have fixed sites being able to read your entire history from changed color on visited links, if you "turn it all off," visited links won't change colors. (assume that's what you meant?) Unless you meant something else, it's really hard to keep up w/ which links I've followed on a large site w/o changing link colors.

If you go into options and just uncheck every check mark Your browser saves nothing. Now I am not talking about Fx 3.xx but one of the newer releases.
