Firefox – How to get Firefox to not remember the credit card details

autocompletefirefoxprivacy

I just realized that on a certain website I've purchased things from, the credit card details are being autocompleted.

Even the 3 digit key on the back of credit card is being autocompleted.

I like the remember my password feature and I like the autocomplete features too, so I don't want to get rid of them, but how do I make sure it doesn't my password

OK so here is another answer I think is more convenient that the Javascript one.

First go to your Firefox components folder, by default in my case it's "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components"

Now open the file nsLoginManager.js

Go to the function at around line 804 (varies with version of Firefox), that reads:

/*
 * _isAutoCompleteDisabled
 *
 * Returns true if the page requests autocomplete be disabled for the
 * specified form input.
 */
_isAutocompleteDisabled :  function (element) {
    if (element && element.hasAttribute("autocomplete") &&
        element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off")
        return true;

    return false;
},

Now comment out the first 3 lines, so it ends up like this:

/*
 * _isAutoCompleteDisabled
 *
 * Returns true if the page requests autocomplete be disabled for the
 * specified form input.
 */
_isAutocompleteDisabled :  function (element) {
    /*if (element && element.hasAttribute("autocomplete") &&
        element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off")
        return true;*/

    return false;
},

Save it, restart Firefox and you should be good to go...

Use the autocomplete=on extension.

Changes 'autocomplete=off' to 'autocomplete=on' in web pages, so your passwords will be remembered.
