Running FF ver 77 on MACs - Autofill works for addresses fine, but never works for credit card info etc ever. Yes ive checked my settings, under Security/Privacy, yes autofill is enabled and read the page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-fill-your-address-web-forms?redirectlocale=en-US&as=u&redirectslug=automatically-fill-address-and-credit-cards&utm_source=inproduct I don't see anything that goes beyond Autofill Addresses. Im assuming this is by design as i have a hard time believing it is an unsolvable issue w FF. If anyone knows otherwise please do the world a favor and share this well guarded secret. FF is the only browser the IT Nazis from my corp IT havent hijacked.

That would be a huge security risk because a malicious website would only have to place a credit card form on its page and then read this content via JavaScript and send this data in the background via XHR to the server.
Such data should only be filled manually.
Even with auto-filling passwords there is a risk.
