How to Disable "Did You Mean to Go To http:?"
I use the firefox URL bar as a search bar, however recently when I use it this way, firefox automatically gives a notification asking "did you mean to go to http://example/?". I'm unsure if/how I can disable this, as I find it annoying and unnecessary.

You can try to set this pref to '0' on the about:config page/
- about:config => browser.urlbar.dnsResolveSingleWordsAfterSearch = 0
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

For more background, when you submit a single word search, Firefox follows that with a DNS lookup in the background in case, for example, pasta (or whatever) is the name of a server on your local network.
Some DNS services dishonestly tell Firefox there is a server by that name so they can show a page of paid ad links. cor-el gave you the fastest workaround. Another option is to look at that links page and see whether you can disable this "service" completely.
