How do I make Firefox interpret my location as a non-FQDN subdomain on my local network?
How do I make Firefox interpret my location as a non-qualified domain name properly when I type in a non-FQDN without dots?
For example, if I type "foo/home", I want to go to "http://foo/home", not to "https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=foo%2Fhome&ia=web". But I can't find any such setting.

You could try changing the following setting and see whether it works better for you overall. With this change, to search a single word, start your query with a ? character.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from false to true
