Usual ways of dispatching Enter keypress don't submit forms, because
dispatchEventsetsEvent.trustedtofalseand browsers ignore it:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/isTrusted
I found an interesting workaround that only works in Chromium(-based?) browser: debugger API.
Basically it allows us to issue "trusted" Enter keypresses, which do submit forms.
Sadly
debuggerpermission is not supported by Firefox at all:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/permissions#Browser_compatibility
