Is Firefox 2.0 Portable really finished yet?

I just downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0 Portable onto my USB flash drive as it is only now offered on portableapps.com. It seemed to work great. However, I noticed when I browsed any web site, the links would remain blue after I clicked the link and returned. I checked the Tools/Options/Contents/Colors and everything was checked the same as my desktop versions of Firefox. The links are supposed to turn purple after you visit them. The desktop version works as it is supposed to. The portable version doesn't seem to. Is this just one bug of the Portable version? How am I supposed to be sure that all the behind security measures are working properly? Should I delete 2.0 and go back to 1.5.0.8?

It's because

Firefox Portable is set not to save history.
Open your options and turn your history on.
Tools » Options » Privacy » History » Set the time

Dunno

I never use my history Blum
Edit: No, but you would assume there's an extension to do it.

That solved the problem, Thanks.

I think this is the second reply I made.

I think I'm finally learning how to send messages on this forum.
