1417809 - Unable to edit custom search keywords in preferences

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Christoph Terasa]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171115002005

Steps to reproduce:

After the update to Firefox 57 I do not find any means to edit my custom search keywords in preferences. I can set up keywords for the bundles (or found via addon) search engines, but not the ones I simply created previously by right-clicking a search form box and adding a keyword.


Actual results:

I did not find a GUI element in preferences to edit my custom search keywords associations.


Expected results:

Be able to edit custom search keyword associations.

When you right click on a search form box and add a keyword, you're creating a bookmark that has an associated keyword. You will have to find the bookmark in your Library (Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+B on OSX) and then right click on the bookmark. In the context menu choose "Properties" and you can edit your keyword there.

As for the search engines listed in Preferences, you can double click on the row/column cell for the search engine and Keyword that you want to add/edit.
