Mozilla Firefox has a feature that automatically fills in saved credit card information when making online purchases. To complete the checkout process faster, we just need to add our credit card details in the browser and enable autofill.
We can add several cards and select the appropriate one. The payment will be processed after proper authentication with CVV and the system password.
In this guide, we have shared the steps to save and manage credit card details in the Firefox browser.

Bottom Line
Earlier, when we wanted to make an online payment, we manually entered the card details, such as card number, expiry date, and CVV. It was a time-consuming process. However, this has been eliminated with the autofill option.
Once you have added the payment details on the browser, Firefox will pre-populate your card details when needed. After the proper authentication, the payment will be processed.
A similar feature to save and autofill the cards is available in Firefox on Android. We can also use password management in the Firefox browser to save and autofill when required.
