Selecting all :visited links psuedo-class, css error

Hey, I keep getting an error. I submitted a ticket about this before, but it's not checking off this section. My code is -->

a:visited { color:firebrick; }

I am seeing firebrick links in the preview but it's still not giving me a correct answer.

style.css 
a:link {
  color:darkorange;
}
a:visited {
  color:firebrick;
}

As strange as it may sound if you put a space after the colon it passes.

I've had the same problem but it looks like they've fixed it.
