How to turn off Firefox forms autocomplete for only certain websites, or for all sites temporarily?

I want to turn off Firefox autocomplete, but only for specific websites--not for the entire interwebs. My language course has an online workbook, and the autocomplete keeps giving me the answers if I need to re-do an exercise. The tutorials I've found online all tell me to clear out my form history. I don't want to do this. I just want autocomplete to not work for a specific set of websites, or alternately turn it off temporarily. How can I do this?

I'm curious as to why auto-complete is causing a problem or annoyance, as there may be better solutions or paradigm shifts that would address it. – MetaGuru – 2012-08-02T16:19:04.883

The Form History Control extension for Firefox allows you to clear the AutoComplete storage for specific websites, and supports many other advanced AutoComplete tasks.

Go to my JSFiddle example.
In the bottom right corner there is a link with the text ACOff.
Drag this link to your bookmark toolbar.

Now go to your website - click the link, and all fields with type=text have their autocomplete turned off.

Code looks good but it didn't work for http://rhymezone.com. Firefox 33.3.1 on OSX 10.10.1.
