When typing in the address bar, if the first letter I type in "m" it is changed to "h". e.g. If I try to enter "maps.google.com" it turns into "haps.google.com".

hello JiveTurkey, please Update Firefox to the latest release and see if you can replicate the issue then when you once launch firefox in safemode for testing purposes: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Update have been disabled by the System Administrator (it's a work PC), so that is not possible for me.

Thank you for the troubleshooting link though. I have tried Safe Mode, where the problem still occurs. I have also created a new profile, where the problem does not occur! So it is something in my profile that is causing it.

Try to set the browser.urlbar.autoFill pref to false on the about:config page.

See "Prevent Firefox from automatically completing URLs":
