This is caused by the form auto-fill feature. You can clear that data under:

menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear Private Data

(See: Clear your browsing history and other personal data on Firefox for Android)

But the data will accumulate again. You can turn off the feature using a hidden setting:

In the Awesomebar, type or paste about:config and tap the Go arrow. You may want to bookmark this page if you like to tinker with settings.

Type form into the search box and pause while Firefox filters the list to show preferences that contain form.

Tap browser.formfill.enable to select it and the word Toggle should appear. Tap that to switch the value from true to false.

Success?

It is an issue with the Facebook site that we are working with FB to get them to fix the issue. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877344
