Actual results: However the CSS for this mode lacks to differentiate visited and not yet visited links. Expected results: See http://joelcalifa.com/blog/revisiting-visited/ why distinctive colours help the user to navigate.

Comment on attachment 8782389 [details] Bug 1170955 - Reader Mode: Give visited links a different color. . https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/72574/#review70210 ::: toolkit/themes/shared/aboutReaderContent.css:88 (Diff revision 1) > text-decoration: underline; > font-weight: normal; > } > > a, > -a:visited, > +a:link, I think we should just remove the :visited line, and probably make sure all 3 remaining ones include ":link". Please do the same for the rule above (the one with text-decoration: underline and font-weight: normal). Right now anchors that are not links will also get underlines and get colored, which is not right. ::: toolkit/themes/shared/aboutReaderContent.css:94 (Diff revision 1) > +a:visited { > + color: #609; > +} This color does not work well with the dark theme, maybe let's use #c2e which is a bit lighter, so there's more contrast? It still has >3:1 contrast with the light and sepia theme as well, so I think that works.
