User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; x64; rv:96.0esr) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0esr

Steps to reproduce:

In the search engine settings, you cannot assign several short names for the search engine. For embedded search engines, several short names separated by commas are indicated. So I expect that I can assign several short names to the search engine.

Actual results:

It doesn't work!

Expected results:

It should be possible to specify several short names.

Why is this necessary?
If the user has two keyboard layouts, then it is convenient for him to have short names for a specific keyboard. Now I have to switch the layout, type a short name, switch the layout again. This kills the idea of short names.

Roku not connecting to WiFi!
https://www.rokucom-support.com/roku-error-codes/
When trying to connect to the Wifi, the Roku device shows you a list of all available WiFi networks. You need to pick your network and then type in the password for your WiFi. However, sometimes the WiFi might not connect or Roku players that have been working fine in the past might start showing “Not Connected” on the home screen. These devices would then give you an error code when trying to connect to your wifi. So, if your Roku is not connecting to wifi, here is a list of all Network related Error Codes followed by best practices on how to resolve the Roku Error Codes and finally resolve Roku not connecting to wifi issue.

I was able to replicate this bug, so far i tested Windows10 and MacOs 10.15 using firefox release93, beta 94, and nightly 95

steps:

• go to about:preferences#search , check bing keyword, and add "O, M"
• after that if i type O+space or M+space in the urlbar , and the search mode is not visible.

If i remove the "O", and then i type "M+space" , it works. but adding a second letter stops working

changing bug to enhancement for multiple keyword

Not sure it's an enhancement, it's something that doesn't work since some search engines support multiple pre-populated short names that can't be modified by the user (for example DuckDuckGo) and those are comma-sepparated, which implies to the user that comma separated short names are supported.
