Jonathan, can you take a look at this?

:jaws this isn't done elsewhere in about:preferences besides for single fields. For example entering credit cards and addresses. Is this something we want to do?

If we do we likely should just make one bug for all of that?

I took a second look at this and (on Windows) I am able to tab to the Done/Save button for both Containers and Saved Address fields (respectively) and hit Enter and Space to save my entries.

Hitting Enter directly from the form field is nice but since we support changing focus to the Done/Save button using Tab and activating the button via keyboard I'm inclined to close this bug as worksforme.
