Make YouTube.com tell you which videos have already been viewed - as in the standard default behavior for visited links.

What the script does:
1. On most areas of the youtube site, including "Related Videos", "More From", any of the Browse screens and the search results screen, visited video links will show up as a red color in order to differentiate from the default blue used by youtube for both visited and non-visited videos.
2. In addition, on the search results screens only, if youtube labels your video as "Previously viewed" (must be signed in for this), then the entire video block will be colored with a gray background.
3. For further emphasis, the youtube favicon has been added before the visited link.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
The script is so simple that if you do not get these results, there is almost certainly a conflict with another script or style you are using with youtube.com. Try disabling them and it will work fine. The script also requires that [Options->Content->Colors->Allow web pages to set their own colors] is in its default state of [checked].

SEARCH RESULTS PAGE ONLY
YouTube may show a video as previously viewed even when your Firefox browser history has stopped retaining that the link has been clicked. There are also times when YouTube drops its previously viewed label for some unknown reason, but these will still show up with 1 and 3 above based on the browser history behavior. In other words: the grayed background and highlighted links will not always coincide, especially if you log in on multiple computers. You must be signed in to allow youtube to track your Previously viewed videos.
