When I directly click on or open a blue underlined link in a new window (or tab), the link I used to open the new window or tab turns purple, indicating that it has recently been visited. I know that at some point in time, the visited link (purple), turns back to the normal color of light blue. A few years ago, I remember finding an option (I think it was Firefox but I'm not certain) to set the length of time a visited link remained purple. Does anyone know if this is a feature that be changed?

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.
