As of at least Firefox 69.0.3, you can right click most query fields and choose "Add a keyword for this search". It works about the same in e.g. Opera and Vivaldi.

It's unclear if the "intent to deprecate OpenSearch" also means removing this functionality.

But those are keywords in the URL ("Awesome") bar though, right? I prefer to use the search bar for search and URL bar for URLs.

As far as I remember that functionality doesn't use OpenSearch but instead save the search query string as a bookmark.
