Hi Mike, thanks for this report. If you have time, we'd love some more info to help us track down this issue: 

What platform are you using? (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.) 
Do you use a high contrast mode in your OS system settings? 
Do you have a firefox theme enabled? (you can check in about:addons > themes)
If you go to about:preferences > Manage Colors, do you have the dropdown in that dialog set to "Always", "Never" or "Only with High Contrast themes"? Do you have the "Use system colors" checkbox checked? 

Are you noticing this issue on any other sites, if so, which ones? 

If you paste this into your URL bar, do the colours look as you'd expect? 
`data:text/html,<a href="">I am an unvisited link</a><br><a href="https://google.com">I am a visited link</a>`

Thanks for your help :)
