Actually the problem is  quite simple:

Firefox is supposed to remember which urls have been visited. Deepending
on the status (active, visited, not visited) urls can be styled
accordingly. Having this distinction is important especially for
community sites such as reddit, slashdot and other.

Most of the time Firefox remembers if a certain url has been visited or
not. However, for some urls it does not. It looks like if this is the
case for urls that are rather short  and end with an short id / hash
value. For example on reddit under http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/ there
are plenty of urls to imgur.com that are not remembered as visited. For
example: https://imgur.com/0L7vV

 I could not figure out a certain pattern that indicates if an url is
remembered or not. Some imgur links are, but a lot of them are not.
