Affected versions

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox and go to about:preferences#search.
2. Double click to display keyword input field in the Search engine list view (e.g. Double click "Bing" row).
3. Type keyword and do not press the ENTER key (e.g. "b" not include quotation)
4. Click "General" pane
5. Click "Search" pane

Regression range

• This is not a recent regression as I can reproduce on 65.0 as well. I will investigate further in case of an old regression.

Mike, does anything from the regression-window point to being the cause?

Duping to the bug that has the error messages from the browser console when this happens which made this easy to fix...
