Some pages have a fixed color for visited links.
You can always specify a style for visited links in userContent.css. This will override the style specified by the page.

You'll also need to set firefox to remember your history for at least one day.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
