Reproducible : always if link is redirected Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached --- the link state is unvisited color as expected 2. Click link "PortableApps.com - Official Site" 3. Open NewTab and close other tab 4. Open Library (Ctrl+Shift+h) 5. Select all history entry and delete them 6. Open attached again Actual Results: The link state is visited color. Expected Results: Since the browsing history for the link is not recorded in Library, the link state should be unvisited color.
This might be Toolkit:Places bug, or Code:DOM&HTML, but probably not Document Navigation.

I don't think this is a bug, maybe a UI miscromprehension. The history views are not supposed to show every visit, so barely opening the sidebar, selecting those few pages and removing them won't clear a given host. That's why we have "Forget About This Site" in the contextual menu. Also, try searching for the host and removing everything from the search result, does that work?

Because, it also remove passwords, permission and zoom level. > Also, try > searching for the host and removing everything from the search result, does > that work? It works, but why search results change the meaning of the list? Generally, Search is extract and display the matches a given phrase, It does not change to meaning of the list.
Because our views are too crowded by design, and due to that we try to keep them useful to actually find something. to do that we must hide less useful information. The only solution to this would be to write new views, that would not be infinite lists (like the current one) but properly paged filters. This will likely happen sooner or later, but not right now.
