If I leave tabs open when I close Firefox then shut down PC, are the tabs available to hackers?

I did not have this problem but someone at work warned me not to leave the tabs open when I stopped because the tabs open when the browser opens again... which is what I want, but she explained that open the tabs without having to re-enter passwords, so even if the PC is off hackers can get into the tabs already protected by. It makes no sense to me, but she is adamant, saying his bank account was wiped out because she didn't close her bank tab on its browser when the computer is shut down.

If your computer is turned off, it cannot be hacked. In addition, you can set your preferences to not save passwords if you wish. But no, if your computer is turned off are not accessible (for obvious reasons). For better security, you can use a master password in Firefox or put a password on your PC if someone turns on it back, they need to put a password. Use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords
