Hi there -- I'm running Firefox 79.0 on Ubuntu. I've been trying to add keywords to my custom search engines for some time now, but it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? The whole section of the table seems unresponsive. I tried clicking, hitting ENTER / TAB, starting with an @, etc., but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong here, or is it a Firefox bug? I figure many people would complain online if it were bug, but I didn't find anything.

Thanks!

On Windows, you double-click the blank space below Keyword to open an editing field. Not sure about Linux.

It would be more self-documenting if there was a tooltip on hover or some visible change.
