Question re Norton 360, Firefox, and lost 'visited links' color change

[Stinky The Clown]

I installed Norton 360, Version 2.0.

Before this install, every link I'd visited on the internets was red, while unvisted links were blue. For example, ..... DU Threads.

Now, each time I close and then reopen my browser (Firefox 2.0.n) all the links revert to blue. I can no longer see what threads I have already read. Very annoying.

On the other machines on which i have installed 360, I do not have this problem.

Any idea what setting is wrong?

I looked at Firefox's settings and they seem to be okay.

1. Private Data

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like Norton is deleting your private data. Firefox stores visited links info in your profile directory, and some software packages like Norton like to root around in there to get rid of stuff. In its defense, that's what it is supposed to do, but I'd prefer just to keep that control with the program (in this case Firefox) itself. That's what those settings are for.

As I don't come within a 10' pole length of Norton products any longer, I'm not sure what setting might be doing that.

2. Thanks, that was actually very helpful

It was in Norton. Unchecked a box and voila!

3. Yep, the only thing a Norton disk is good for is skeet practice.

4. I really have had good luck with Norton 360

I am careful about what I want cleaned out, and it works fine. Really speeded up my computer, even though I use CCleaner every day.
