In Internet Explorer you can tell it not to store information on forms when you're on a secure webpage, so your credit card number is never saved for example - can I do this in FireFox?

Firefox only seems to let you tell it either to never save forms, or always to - or you can manually list sites not to save. It would be great if I could just tell it never to save forms when the page is a secure page, that way I know it'll never be saving my credit card number for example. Can this be done?

You can currently not opt whether to store form data or not, so you will have to disable form data completely or use a form data manager extension. Firefox 4 will do some checks on form data to see if it is a credit card number and not store it in such a case.
