A better workaround is offered by the previously mentioned "Form History Control" add-on. This add-on offers the ability to add cleanup- criteria using regular expressions, thus the actual credit card number is not needed in the cleanup configuration. The regular expression for detecting cc-numbers is predefined and can be chosen from a list. Furthermore the actual cleanup can automatically be performed at browser shut-down and/or when the browser-tab is closed. And cc-numbers imho are just the tip of the iceberg. What about the information you type in when doing online private banking? You can not expect the browser to recognize this highly sensitive data as well. You can also us the mentioned add-on to cleanup this information too but leave the data you wish to keep. Another alternative is to use the "Private Browsing mode" whenever you do not want any data stored on your computer. In private browsing mode nothing will be stored at all.
