    You kow, when a browser keep informations to enter them automatically? It's doing this for my CC number (at least not the verification number). Is there a way to turn it off only for my CC number?

    Firefox has probably mistaken the Card Number field for the Password field.

    To delete the entry, go to Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords.
    Find the password you wish to delete, and hit remove.

    if you type in, and the pop up shows up with the number, hover with the mouse over it as if you would select it, and press "delete". then it should get removed.

    Its the websites fault, its probably using the wrong type of field box so firefox is picking it up as a non private entry.

    @JCMS:
    Did you try to delete the saved passwords as davepermen said? Did it work? I guess that is what caused the problem with Firefox saving your CC number. Does an option come up to remember the password when you type in your CC number and then press enter? If a pop-up like that shows you should click 'Not Now'.
