Update: This preference no longer exists in Firefox 48.0. See this question for Firefox 48.0.
I noticed this today too and played around in about:config
. To get rid of the "Visit website" suggestion you'll need to change a preference. The value you want to change is browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
, set it to false.
Back to normal:

1@DavidPostill Setting browser.urlbar.delay to 0 speeds up the search response, too. – Geremia – 2016-05-17T22:52:20.167
1It seems to be some kind of "sponsored link". In my url Facebook usually ranks 2nd or 3rd, yet this feature constantly suggests FB as #1 after typing "fa". – Agent_L – 2015-12-21T11:22:07.453
