I used to have a feature that stored my credit card info and addresses etc for filling in forms....now it's GONE! Why? Where did it go. Did you really remove this feature? If so how can I go back to my old version?

Form history in Firefox 4 specifically doesn't save credit card numbers, as was done with previous versions.

Look into an extension which securely stores and retrieves that data for auto fill.

That's why I went back to an old version. This 4.0 is terrible. looks bad and missing features that were on older versions.

You need to use an extension to save such data.

This extension uses the Master Password to store form data encrypted:
