Firefox has a keyword feature which allows users to add a single keyword to a bookmark, which redirects users to the bookmarked link when the keyword is typed into the address bar. However, this feature is limited by only allowing one keyword for every individual bookmark.

This means if you wanted to have more than one keyword for a single website, a user has to create a new bookmark manually in the bookmark menu with the same link and add a different keyword to that bookmark (see BookmarkComparison.jpg for clarity). This is not user-friendly and an inefficient way to add multiple keywords, which Firefox does seem to otherwise support.

Instead, bookmarks should be able to support multiple keywords. These keywords could be separated using special characters such as a semi-colon ( ; ) or a pipe ( | ).

This could be useful for someone who may often type something wrong in the address bar (as someone who has typed 'youtube' wrong too many times to count), or who may have more than one way to type something (e.g. youtube, yt).
