Firefox may be thinking that you start typing http.
You should only see that as suggestion in a drop down list and should correct with the next letter(s).

I'm having the same issue in Firefox 7.0.1. When I start typing "h" for hotmail.com, it immediately switches it to a "w" to complete www.hulu.com, in which the h in Hulu is bold.

It's obviously trying to complete www.hulu.com because I've typed an h, but in doing so it switches the h to a w. So even if I begin typing "hot" for hotmail, the h has already been swapped with a w and I get "wot".

Note, www.hulu.com is one of my bookmarks in my toolbar (perhaps giving it precedence with autofill?), and I've set my address bar to autofill within the bar.

That can only happen if Inline autocomplete (auto-fill) is enabled or you have an extension that adds that feature.

That probably is true, however this was never a problem in any previous version of Firefox when autocomplete was turned on. It also seems it's been submitted as a bug to Mozilla developers, so here's hoping it will be resolved in a future release...

Sadly, this issue still has not been resolved in v 10.0.1
