That pref is not related to the Ctrl+Enter autocomplete feature. The
browser.fixup.alternate prefs are used when you press Enter and have the
keyword.enabled pref set to false.

The Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift+Enter autocomplete feature is a
different thing and can not be disabled, AFAIK.

Suggesting -> Invalid.

Even if so, it is a buggy feature that must have means to be disabled. (Or are
there any other option to open from keyboard new tab with specified location?)
Examples:
itc.ua -> http://www.itc.ua.com/
http://itc.ua -> http://www.http://itc.ua.com/ (adding one more http:// is
funny, but not usefull)
www.itc.ua -> http://www.www.itc.ua.net/ 
ixbt.com -> http://www.ixbt.com.net/
http://www.ixbt.com -> http://www.http://www.ixbt.com/.net/

To open a address in a new tab, press Alt+Enter.
Note: This does not work in Win9x, not sure about OS/2. See bug 185382.

Vit, the problem with the domain guessing (and the probably resulting wrong
URIs) is filed in many bugs - the most commonly used seems to be bug #177618. So
if your bug report is about this "http://www.http//itc.ua.com/" stuff, then I'll
resolve your bug as duplicate of bug #177618.

But if your bug report is about "Why doesn't Moz. Firebird opens a URI in a new
tab after pressing <ctrl>-<enter>" I'll have to resolve this bug as "invalid"
since Moz.Firebird uses <Alt><Enter> to open URI in new tab (see comment #3 and
also http://texturizer.net/firebird/keyboard.html ).
