It is only in Firefox that this happens. Android and Opera are both fine. For example the city name appears several time over the map, and likewise so do suburb names. See attached screen grab. Is there a setting that I have missed?

Thanks for the tip. The problem vanished in safe mode. It seems that my add-ons might be causing the problem. I have... AdBlocker Ultimate. Download Manager S3. Privacy Badger. And one that I didn't know was there. A thing called "DuckDuckGo privacy essentials". I have used that search engine recently, and it seems it might have sneaked that one in there. Once disabled all was good. So now it is removed. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
