These days most browsers offer to save just about anything you throw at them, bookmarks, passwords, payment information, etc. Although this is super handy it does come with some risks, most of which I’m sure you’re well aware of. Either way, it’s a time-saving feature that can be used safely in most circumstances.

How do you view, edit, delete or update credit card information saved in Firefox?
- To begin, open Firefox on your device, then click the Hamburger icon (three lines) in the top right-hand corner of the browser window. This will open a new menu where you will need to clock Preferences on Mac or Options on Windows and Linux.
- On the new page that appears, select Privacy & Security in the left-hand side panel. Here choose Forms and Autofill then click the Saved Credit Cards option.
- In the new window that appears, you’ll see all the credit cards and payment information you have saved using Firefox. If you haven’t saved anything everything will be blank. In fact, you most likely won’t even see the Saved Credit Cards option on the screen before.
- Now just click Edit Credit Card and you’ll be able to View and Edit your credit card details. You’ll also notice that the 3 or 4 digit security code (CVV/CSV) number is not there. Firefox does not save this information.
- If you want to delete the information simply go back one screen and choose the Remove option from the page then confirm the data removal when asked.
Although saving your payment information to your browser is a super handy feature to take advantage of, it’s not the best idea from a security perspective. You’re far better off using a password manager like Bitwarden or Lastpass. These two services are heavily encrypted and don’t store your data locally.
