I have a big problem with password security. While checking my passwords I see bad passwords, I click to remove and next day they are back again. I have deleted approximately 20 to 30 passwords and almost all have returned? Something is seriously wrong and I am almost positive a hacker has gotten into the computer? Anything else I can check???

Do you have any other installations of Firefox synchronized with your Firefox Account that might be pushing saved logins back? You can check the connected devices/services on the website:

https://accounts.firefox.com/settings#connected-services

You also could go to the Settings page and turn off synchronization for saved logins. See: How do I choose what information to sync on Firefox? (But it's still worth investigating what else might be happening with the account.)
