Description

### Describe the bug

The networks pre-set by the Metamask browser extension cannot be edited. For example it's not possible on my machine to change the Ethereum RPC url. Mind-boggling.

Happens in Firefox and Brave, macOS.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. First reproduce the problem in the MetaMask network settings using Firefox or Brave on macOS, then trace the Ethereum network editing flow; it is done when the preset network's RPC URL can be changed and the new value persists.
