Hi,

in Firefox Desktop I since ever use keyword searches where you can e.g. add a bookmark "https://maps.google.de/maps?q=boston+%s" with a keyword such as "mb". If you then just type in your address bar "mb martha rd 5" + Enter you will end up automatically at a Google Maps searching for "boston martha rd 5". This is really awesome and speeds up work a lot. I use it for about 30 pages.

I have also used this a lot on Firefox Android in the past. But now for some reason it does not work any more although my bookmark syncing is on as ever. Also in the Firefox Android bookmarks there is not even a field any more for entering such keywords. What happened back there? Especially on the tiny smartphones with those tiny keys you really really really need this functionality to enter as less as possible.

Please tell me it is just a bug and will be fixed in the next version. Do not tell me this feature was dropped because it is so needless :-/
