Steps how to reproduce with DE SeaMonkey 2.35(γ)  (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0 nightly by Adrian Kalla)  Gecko/20100101 Build 20150616034436 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit:

       SunSpider 1.0.2 JavaScript Benchmark

Additional info:
a) currently I do not understand the difference between blue and black 
   hyperlinks
b) Safe mode without add-ons does not heal the problem

/Visited/ links /may/ be colored differently (web pages can override browser settings) & coloring (& underlining) is definable.

Edit | Preferences | Appearance -> Colors

For me visited links look black only. Is this the same for you? Can you click on a link in Firefox to mark this link/address as visited?

Yes, that's the reason. I should have visited all linked pages before thinking about a bug report. Now I did and all hyperlinks (except the broken one for "SunSpider 1.0.2 JavaScript Benchmark", what can not be visited, are black.

And yes, SM, FF, IE11 all the same, blue changes to black after page has been visited.
