For some reason, my Visited Links do not change color from the
non-visited ones.  I noticed this recently on the mozillaZine
Forums and also Google groups (using SeaMonkey 2.2).

Could you give an example page (URL) and a link on it which doesn't change its color after being followed? As far as I've observed many links on mozillaZine forums are just styled with the same color for the normal and visited states - these are mostly in the forum UI. However links in message content appear to change their color after being visited. Similarly for Google Groups.

Any advice on how to get the Visited Links colors to show as set
in my Preferences box (they differ from the non-visited links)?

If you want links always use your default colors you may force it by a general user style rule <http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css>, like:

:link    { color: -moz-HyperlinkText !important; }
:visited { color: -moz-VisitedHyperlinkText !important; }

You may choose to apply/force just the :visited state style. You may need to set the background color in addition, to ensure text will remain visible on pages which background is similar to your default text color, e.g.:

:visited {
  color: -moz-VisitedHyperlinkText !important;
  background-color: white;
}

You could also use the Stylish extension <https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/stylish/> to set styles on per-site basis.

You may temporary choose View -> Use Style -> None, and you may also trigger Edit -> Preferences -> Colors:

(x) Use my chosen colors, ignoring the colors and background image specified

The later is automatically triggered (even if the pref is not selected) on Windows when a high-contrast system theme is selected, for example.
