It is curious though

It could be a man in the middle attack or a hijacked DNS. *nix wouldn't solve that.
What about Javascript? Mozilla uses that regardless of base OS.
What are you using to store your passwords?
do you have 2 factor auth, ie something you know plus something you physically have?
I would surely discount Paypal as the culprits, the fallout from it would destroy the company if it was insider collusion.

Linux is not immune to malware, and nor are your iPhones, or if you are crazy enough to have an Android phone, then the highest number of malware by many factors is on Android.. highest of all time and most accelerating also.
If the details are as you say with the password, and you don't have malware, then it is a little curious, but I would absolutely report it to police. The Police cannot stop the crimes if they never get reported. find a cybercrime office, not your local copshop.
malware sucks, and so do the authors

After the breach?? breaches are happening all the time. I used them as examples, these were actually malware on the POS systems, so not related to your case. I meant just look for anything similar in the news. BIG mistake to think of individual malware or think there is 3 or 4 big ones such as cryptolocker, zuess, etc. At any given time some new one can be there and in fact this year two separate malwares were discovered that have been roaming the interwebs for over 5 years. There is a LOT of malware and criminals out there.when you paid for a item on ebay and you paid with paypal it would automatic log you in for payment
once you sign out of ebay your paypal account keeps you log in
so the cookies remain active
i reported to paypal to remove the cookies and get them to expire right away rather then waiting
