This bug is a task to evaluate the pros/cons of offering direct credit card payment processing in the Firefox desktop browser. At the moment, this is a speculative idea and there are no plans to build it. 

The question is whether we can offer users greater security by keeping their card number entirely in their browser, instead of sending it to be stored in each merchant's database, where a single breach could result in millions of stolen cards. 

The document should reflect research into the current payment systems, potential user benefits, and an overview of the current payment flow.
