How do I stop Firefox from resizing Textarea? I'm not the website owner and deal with a lot of websites with these form so editing the HTML is not an option.

Is there a setting in about:config or an add-on to disable this for some/all websites?

See:

Add code to the userContent.css file.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder. 

textarea.example {  
 resize: none; /* disables resizability */  
} 
@-moz-document domain(support.mozilla.org) {
 textarea.example {  
  resize: none; /* disables resizability */  
 }
}
