Adding a keyword used to be more prominent and easy to do - you could right click any search bar and "Add as Keyword" - or you could edit the Bookmark link manually when bookmarking a page. They "simplified" bookmarking to where I need to navigate through several layers of menus to access the Bookmark Manager where I can finally edit the bookmark to add a Keyword and update the link to what it needs to be.

I have no idea why they made bookmarks so much more difficult to work with and I'm not sure when it happened - as I updated from FF39 to FF60. Using Quantum for the last few weeks - I'm pretty sure I'll be going back to FF39 as it's simply more usable. Especially since add-ons that were a large part of my workflow actually work (or even exist at all...)

“Add a Keyword for this Search…” is still there in the context menu.
Checked on my work computer and you're right! Something must be going on with my userChrome.css back at home that's inadvertently hiding it from me, since I hide useless context menu options like "Set as Desktop Background...", "Email Image", etc. Something I'm hiding must be hiding "Add as a Keyword for this Search..." on accident.
And debugging those things can be nasty!

I wish :contains() had stayed in CSS Selectors Level 3, or that you could use XPath in stylesheets.

Hmm… #contentAreaContextMenu actually looks pretty sane. They all have IDs, which I really should have expected anyway. I’m going to add some rules to my own userChrome.css. Thanks for the idea!
