Of course, this is not the expected answer, nevertheless. You can use, test, Add the Search bar to your Firefox toolbar https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-search-bar-firefox-toolbar Note : for information purposes, since the release of Firefox 122 See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1852044

So you are saying to add a search bar to the address bar, or in the toolbar area. How would I perform testing with once installed that is relevant to my issue?

For example, @actions

I am not sure what I am to do with the information in your last post.

Hello

Assign a keyword shortcut https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/assign-shortcuts-search-engines, Remove Shortcut Bookmarks, Tabs, History, Actions, no idea.

For information, Mozilla Connect https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-mozilla-connect

In Search bar toolbar, by way of illustration, @actions/github, does not trigger the Search Shortcut @actions. Do you agree.
