How To Clear Purple Links On Google
How to stop visited links turn purple
User Help for Mozilla Firefox
Tried clearing history/restarting FF, doesn't help. The links still stay purple. The only thing I don't clear is cookies (but not sure if this is related).
Set layout.css.visited_links_enabled to false in about:config.
See about:config for details about changing preference.

If clearing the history doesn't reset the links then you may have an extension interfering or a profile corruption. Please try Safe Mode: Help > Restart with Addons Disabled. If that fixes the problem then it's likely an extension. Let us know what happens.

Nope, didn't work, still pink.

You may have a corrupt database. Please try these steps:
- Go into your profile: Help > Troubleshooting Info > Open Containing Folder.
- Close Firefox.
- Rename places.sqlite.
- Restart Firefox and browse around.
- Clear browsing history.
- Close Firefox.
- Restart Firefox and check the links.
What if you go into about:config, filter for "layout.css.visited_links_enabled" (no quotes), and then flip it to false (and maybe restart Firefox)?
^That suggestion was given in the very first reply but seems to have been ignored.
Options - content - colors - change the visited link to the color you want.
Bloody hell not that hard. Even I knew that. Forget the going into about:config or clearing this & that.
The OP doesn't want visited links to change to any specific color. This is obvious because Nuieve cleared the history which should clear all visited links.
Try again...
Umm if you put the VISITED links color the same as the UNVISITED links... then they do not change color at all. The OP wants to STOP then changing purple. So then all they have to do is set the VISITED links color to the blue color that the UNVISITED links are set at & then they will no longer change color.
Try again I think I just didnt have to.

...and you know for sure that the OP has not selected 'Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above' ...how exactly? Your 'solution' will only work if that option is not selected.
The default is 'selected' and most leave it that way.

Not all links are the same colour. If you change the colour of visited links, then you'll just have visited links changing to a different colour. I'm pretty sure the goal is to have them remain the original colour. Besides, changing a pref in about:config from true to false isn't bloody rocket science.
If you want to help troubleshoot, you'll need to learn to read between the lines.

Woud you guys please stay on topic?? The OP has never stated he want's to *disable* visited links color, he has a specific problem which is:
Clearing history is not resetting the color of links from visited to unvisited.
As for this dubious recommendation to change that setting under Options > Content, are you aware that changing this setting will also change the background and text color of websites, and can cause visibility problems on some websites? That setting isn't really anything you should casually recommend.

Only if you uncheck "allow pages to choose their own colors..."- and nobody suggested that. Simply changing the visited link color will not effect background and text colors.
