how do I adjust the hi-lighted color change of viewed sites. The writing starts blue and changes to dull purple after viewed. Can I make viewed sites a brighter color?
When I am on a search page with list of sites to click on they are all blue indicating that I have not viewed any. Once I view a site the listing will change color to indicate that the site was viewed. Can I adjust the color of that viewed site so it is easier to see? I think it use to be called hoover color.

Not an expert but I think this is a property of the html page you are looking at. It is specified in one of the HTML tags that generate the page. So it's nothing to do with Firefox. It may be that Firefox can overrule the page.
I agree with you, perhaps you could complain to google, or preferably use something like scroogle. Unfortunately Scroogle also has the same colors.
"Hover" color is different than "Unvisited" or "Visited Page" links.
Options > Content --> Fonts & Colors - Colors
you can set the color for Visited Links under Link Colors
You need to un-check Allow page to choose their own colors, .. at the bottom of that dialog box.
How well that will work depends upon the individual web site and how it specifies the "visited page" color.
If you disable "Allow page to choose their own colors" then all background images will be removed as well, so that is not a recommended setting.
You can use code in Stylish or userContent.css to accomplish that.
a:visited, a:visited * { color: #CC33CC !important; background-color: #F8F8F8; }
