When I enter a word in the address bar for search, a proposal appears to use this word as an address. How to disable it?
Did you mean following the link? Yes, follow the link. No thanks.

It's not a drop down list of recommendations. A message appears with yes / no options, and you need to disable it.
this is a screenshot in English
Hi staspanne, we have another similar thread going for a U.S.-based user:
https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1271835
In the old days, if you entered a single word in the address bar, like qweerty, Firefox would first do a DNS lookup to see whether this was a local server name. For most people, this just delayed doing the search.
Since people almost never are trying to access the server at http://qweerty/ the behavior was changed. Now the search is done first, and in the background, Firefox checks whether there is a local server at http://qweerty/. If the DNS server says there is, then Firefox displays that bar.
Problem is, your DNS server appears to be lying. This is a way to sell pay-per-click ads and take advantage of people who make typographical errors. Very annoying.
Fortunately, most of the service providers who do this offer a way to "opt out" of this "service." If you actually go to the page Firefox was told exists for http://qweerty/ then you hopefully can find the link to turn off this behavior.
Any luck?
