Why does a log in name show up which I did not create?

You know when you approve Firefox to remember log-in names (NOT PASSWORDS!!!) just log in names like the user name? I know which I created but 1) someone hacked into my email and 2) when I went to log in to of course change passwords, I see this user name I did not create. Something like Gina2659 -- I see it show up but I put in the real name, How did this come about? I did not create that. How do i get rid of it? Is there a way to get firefox to unremember it? I would appreciate un-doing it. Also, most important, someone of course accessed my email because a folder was created that I DID NOT CREATE and it was a "send" folder when I have a sendmail folder. I have no idea for how long, probably not long, but there were emails I sent months ago, MONTHS AGO LIKE MAY that I saw in that folder. I got rid of the folder and of course went through the process of changing passwords to my email, and am going to change this one, too.

Another issue: I do NOT EVER want a password for everything. How do I check to be sure this is not the case with the mozilla password I have? When I see the "you did it! your signed in" and then get firefox everywhere else" Does that mean this password is used for other things in firefox? I only want a password for the browser which should also be used to get help, whether they call it firefox or mozilla. I think the one password that opens all is insanity. That is what google does. This is why I don't ever use chrome anymore. It is why I make sure to change my gmail password every month. Why I cringe at even having to have it in my smart phone and why I will never gt another android phone. I appreciate your help and insight. (I ASSURE ALL, there is no way I created that folder, and NO WAY anyone else could have because I am utterly careful and NOBODY else can use this notebook unless they hack in.) I think this happened around the time a week ago I first saw that "user name" gina6598 whatever. NOT my creation. thanks, Gina
