    This update makes it much easier to add custom search engines in Firefox. You can now right-click in a search field on a supported website and select “Add Search Engine” to add it. You can edit the name and assign a keyboard.

    Am I misremembering things, didn’t this feature exist already in the past?

      Yes I’m pretty sure that this has been an option. For example when I go to imdb.com and right click on the tab, it prompts me to “add imdb” for search. Many such cases on many different websites. Maybe they changed the term or function.

        Yeah it definitely was keyword bookmarks, but there was an option to “add a keyword for this search” or something along those lines

      Sort of. I believe search engine providers actually have to create an extension to be listed in the setting.

        No I distinctly remember being able to right click and add a keyword and bookmark for search field on random website forms, even internal ones on company intranet sites and such
