Visited links in TBB (4.0.3 and up).
Sorry, didn't find anything in 
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/
or FAQs or in any filed bugs, about how TBB handles visited links 
turning colors.

Should TBB visited links turn color, or not - by design?
At 1st, no visited links were turning colors in TBB 4.0.3 - Win.

Checked & the pref: browser.visited_color; #551A8B was at default value.
I assumed links didn't turn colors either because of private browsing 
mode, or TBB modified to prevent links from turning colors.

To see if it was private browsing, I disabled that in Torbutton & restarted.
They still didn't change.   I re-enabled private browsing AND all 4 
boxes are checked under Torbutton > Privacy tab (as is the default).

When restarted TBB again, links *did* change color (to default dark purple).
Re-checked Torbutton Privacy tab - all 4 options still checked.
After still another restart, links no longer turned color (private 
browsing still enabled in Torbutton).

Not sure what happened - wanted to make sure TBB is behaving as designed 
- if they should / should not turn color?

Side question:  I assume if TBB allows them to turn color, that it may 
not be wise to choose a non-default visited link color?

Not sure if sites could detect / query the color specified & see that it 
isn't the default purple?
