For release in Firefox Nightly (planned in Q3 2018), user data is stored as it currently is in [[Firefox/Features/Form_Autofill|form autofill]]. In parallel with development of the [[Firefox/Features/Web_Payments|web payments feature]], the Firefox team is building a new secure storage method that will use native operating system services to generate a device-specific key and then encrypt data at rest using that key. Further details will be added to this section (or a separate page on this wiki) once this new method is implemented.
