Under Preferences > Content > Fonts and colours > link colours, unvisited links are blue, visited links are supposed to change to purple (my customisation) and visited links are to be underlined. However, visited links remain blue and are not underlined.

Are you using any color or display changing add-ons?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Note that a website can override these default settings.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
