Can I take my boss to court for firing me after illegally accessing my Facebook page?

My Facebook cannot be accessed if the person searching or clicking my name is not a direct friend. This morning, when I clicked the “HOME” button to see my News feed, Facebook asked me to log in. I wondered why it would ask me that if I never logged out. I never shut down my PC and I’m always logged into Facebook. it turns out this happens when an account is phished.
