Transitioning the color of links in Firefox causes flickering when switching between the hover and visited state

I have been working on testing this code snippet in Firefox 49.0 on Linux Mint:

a{
 font-size:50px;
 color:gray;
 font-weight:1000;
 transition:color 1s;
}
a:hover{
 color:black;
}
a:visited{
 color:lightgray;
}
<a href="">VISITED LINK</a><br>
<a href="https://google.com/randomtext">LNK NOT VISITED</a>

You can also view the code on CodePen if you prefer. Essentially, I want the links to appear consistently as light gray when visited, gray when not visited, and black when hovering over a link that has not been visited. Additionally, I would like a smooth transition between these colors.

However, I have noticed that in Firefox, the :hover rule seems to be applied first to the visited links when hovered over, followed by the :visited rule, resulting in flickering behavior while transitioning between these states.

So far, I have been unable to find a solution to this issue.

Edit: Interestingly enough, Chrome displays the desired behavior without any issues.

Answer №1

I have discovered a solution: To fix the issue, you must include a hover state for the visited links as well. Take a look at the code snippet below.

a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
transition: .3s color;
}

a:hover, a:visited:hover {
color: #9097a0;
}

Answer №2

It appears that there is a glitch in Firefox causing the transitions to malfunction.
