This sounds remarkably like Apple Pay, but I would just like things to work.
Apple Pay too often asks me to type in the phone passcode while shopping, which is shoulder-surfer heaven. ARRRGGHH.

And I wonder if they will with Firefox. I generally use Firefox instead of Safari
(because Firefox gets regularly updated, while Safari is tied more to the OS, and updating the OS can cause major "feature shock" )

Time to find out?
