A simpler solution would be to set the color-coded links using CSS (with 
e.g. http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/authoring.html#GM_addStyle).

You'd probably want to use :visited and friends 
(http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp) and possibly 
!important (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules).
