As you say, just links. Something I've not encountered before

The only page that auto-completes when typing "fac" into the
URL bar is the one that I typed manually

http://www.facebook.com

If I Google for the people whose pages I looked at, relevant results
are purple. Meaning there is a record of those pages being visited
via my initial Google search last week

Odd

Maybe by joining Facebook there's some cookie or plug-in that
enables viewable history entries ?
