This is so standard that it's really tough to break it (spare you the details) but the elephant in the room is that links change color because you opened them. How does the browser remember this? It's in the history.

If you are in private browsing mode, history won't be kept. There may also be some hard to find "don't remember my history" setting.

So check your history. If it's empty, you have the big clue. If not, oops!
