To keep your PayPal account safe, go into your browser settings in the top right corner, and open logins and passwords to modify your saved preferences. You may choose to remove PayPal as a saved option.

Thank you Cor-el, but given these directions, I was not able to figure out how to remove the cookies. I found options, but no options/preferences and did not find Privacy & Security or any place to clear cookies. So I still need help.

Hi, try deleting ALL references to Paypal. To do that, open the 3-bar menu > Library > History, then click the Show All History link at the bottom of the list to open the History-library window. Search for Paypal by typing it into the Search History field in the top-right corner. Now in the search results, right-click on Paypal, and select Forget About This Site. (Browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logins, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images and pop-ups for that site will be removed). Give it a few minutes to complete the deletion, then try the site (not from an old bookmark) again. More - Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.
