Sounds like the history got wiped or the file where Firefox stores the memory got corrupted.

In Firefox (assuming you are using an up-to-date version), select "Options" under the tool menu and select the "Privacy" tab and look at what the "History" settings are. The pulldown box has "Remember history", "Never remember history" and "Use custom settings for history" as the choices. Either "Remember history" or "Use custom settings for history" should be selected. The custom settings lets you decide what is remembered.

If these settings are OK, you might have a corrupted file, and in this case, I would re-install Firefox. If that still doesn't work, there might be something in Windows that is preventing the history from being saved (look for privacy and security settings).

Hope this helps.

its not working any longer for me either, using Firefox

Works for me, FireFox 3.5.4, and Windows XP.

The problem also might be in an add-on. I'm using Adblock Plus, Download Helper, Ghostery, Java Quick Starter, Speed Dial, and WOT. All are up to date.

It's working here on Mac Os X.3.9 and Firefox 2.0.x.

Probably a dumb question, but are you sure the colors you chose for unread links and read links aren't the same? I wouldn't think they would be the same with a fresh install, but...

colors havne changed, but firefox did an automatic update this morning, i wonder...

I lost mine about 6 months ago, and last month it came back, Probably one of the prior updates messed it up. It sure is nice to have it back again.

Delete your history and cookies. Then log back into OGR.

Well I got it fixed thanks to Andy Hummell's post.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, thanks Andy. my options page is different than you described, but the checkbox next to save history for: was unchecked.

All is well now
