Everytime I type a character, Firefox displays it double (Ex. I press "h"; get "hh")

Not much to it. I keep getting double characters every time I type letters. For instance, I want to get to Google. I type, "www.google.com". What I get is "wwwwww.ggooooggllee.ccoomm". The only work around I have found is to literally delete the extra character as I am typing; a laborious process tp say the least. And you can forget about inputting passwords. So.... How do I fix it?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
