How can I clear cookies and still leave my banking login information so i dont have to type my card number again
Every time I clear my cookies I have to re-enter my login information when I want to do online banking. Is it possible to clear the cookies and still leave my banking info available

Form data is not cookies AFAIK.
Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms

Note that a detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.
I would advice not to use this for a banking website, but you can use this for a forum or other website you visit frequently that do not deal with financial transactions.
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- You can create a cookie "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: Exceptions
Let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies instead of using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cookies.
- Firefox/Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
You can create a cookie "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies.
You need to keep the Site Preferences.
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
