Firefox automatically fills in certain categories in online forms. If a form asks for a state it fills in CA. However, when I am asked where I was born, which was not in USA, it still fills in CA and I cannot complete the form online. I would like to know how to enable/disable this feature.

Tools > Options > Privacy - then select Use custom settings for history, then un-check Remeber form and search history

If you disable "Remember search and form history" then that only disables the save form manager and doesn't remove already stored data.
