Description
Describe the bug
The Vimium options are not saving. Pressing Ctrl-Enter, or clicking Save Changes does nothing.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to URL you want to exclude (e.g. jupyter-lab, so http://localhost:8889)
- Click on the Vimium icon
- Click 'Add Rule'
- EIther leave keys empty or type star
- Click Save Changes or typing Ctrl-Enter does nothing.
Alterantively, attempting to do this from the options page is also unsuccessful (see screenshot) - the boxes don't even appear to enter a URL and key.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in Firefox 97 from the Vimium popup and options page, following the listed steps for adding an exclusion rule. Trace the save action and compare it with the successful path in another supported browser; done means a rule can be entered, saved, and remains present after reopening the options.
