I cannot get the followed links colors to work in 24 for some reason.
I have just downloaded to v24, and now I cannot get the colors to work for the followed links on a web page. I have checked the settings on my other computers running windows 7, but those settings will not work on my laptop running windows 8. In my previous firefox version it worked fine, but fails in v24. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Are you setting the link colours from inside the Firefox options?
Some website have their own link colours programmed and will override your specifications.
If you find that some settings do not stick -- they change when you exit and restart Firefox -- it could be due to the user.js file in your settings folder (profile folder). This article has more details: How to fix preferences that won't save.
