"can't find server at" alert

more options

When I enter a not existing domain address (for example "www.notexistingdomain.com"), Firefox shows me alert box with following sentence: "Firefox can't find server at: www.notexistingdomain.com.". This is very annoying, especially when I'm googling for something and this alert box just shows up! How can I disable this alert box?

Operating system

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

I found a solution! Go to about:config and change setting browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true. In my case it was set to false. Now I get rid of annoying alerts!
