1539701 - keywords starting with a ? no longer work since firefox 66.0.1

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Juan Tacos]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

I typed:
?ebay usb drive

Actual results:

it searched from google instead of from ebay like my keyword should have

Expected results:

it should have searched ebay site instead, a temporary fix was changing all my keyword bookmarks to use a / at the beggining instead of a ?

It looks like this wasn't fixed by bug 1538050. Also, there's no second suggestion in the address bar like in the other bug.

This won't be fixed, keywords starting with a restriction char don't work and we can't do anything about that regardless, until the Quantum Bar is the default implementation.
