Color of visited links does not reset to unvisited color after clearing history in Firefox 100

Just installed Firefox 100 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, upgrading from Firefox 56(!). The new version properly imported my previous color settings for visited/unvisited links, and visited links do change to the correct color, but for some reason, they do not reset to the unvisited color after clearing all browsing history and reloading the page. The only way I can get them to reset to the unvisited color is to close/re-start Firefox. Any idea what's going on? Thanks for any info!

You could try reload (override cache). See the shortcuts on the pages linked below.

Thanks for your reply Terry. The Reload (Override Cache) had no effect on resetting the color of visited links to the unvisited color.

I'm starting to wonder if history-clearing is even working. On multiple occasions now, I have cleared the history (completely, all boxes checked) and exited Firefox, and upon relaunching it, it reloads the most recent website I was on, overriding my default start page! Something's definitely wrong.
