Hi all,

Using: Firefox 119.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

I seem to having an issue with adding search shortcuts on FF, I am following this guide:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/assign-shortcuts-search-engines

But I'm stuck at step #4 as the table seems to be disabled.

This is a personal laptop and has not policies on it.

Thanks for your time and assistance!

The keyword can only be changed for search engines, not for Bookmarks/Tabs/History/Actions.

If you middle-click in the keyword column of a search engine then you should be able to edit the keyword, you can only add one keyword.

Your screenshot has the "Tabs" row highlighted, you cannot change this keyword since it is not a search engine. Double-clicking the keyword column of a search engine row should let you edit the keyword.

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.
