Is there a way to clear the remembered form fill ins?
I have a lot of forms and searches that have auto fill suggestions, and unfortunately over the years I have a lot of errors (such as Ir as a suggestion searching for Iron Man). I would like to clear all this data and start fresh. Is there any way to do this?

Turn off Always use private browsing mode Turn on Remember my browsing and download history At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on Cache and Form And Search History.
Thank you FredMcD, I didn't realize that would clear forms history as well. Too close to see the forest for the trees I guess lol. That did the trick.
If you want to keep forms history going forward, the following add-on lets you edit selectively:
