Well, that's how it looks now.  I wanted to change the color of the visited links, but that changes text and background colors too, which makes many web sites somewhere between "really messed up" and "unreadable".  I would like to change the link colors _only_ and leave the other colors unset.

Perhaps Mozilla has a support article describing effect of these options. I would check if DE theme includes link colors and if it is taken into account by Firefox.

I assume the former changes the default colors of the browser and can be overridden by websites using the CSS, so if it does not achieve what you want try the latter as it should have higher priority.

There are add-ons that may inject CSS rules and user script managers like Greasemonkey that may be used to inject CSS or to modify loaded stylesheets. Beware, having access to all sites you visit, extensions published by unfair developers may be dangerous. Carefully choose ones that you are going to install.
