Sure they can fire you because of something on your background check, but they could also fire you 3 days after starting because the manager doesn't like you. Short of a serious felony conviction it's unlikely to come up, and if it does discuss it or move on to thousand of other companies.

And yes you can move on, but you're still in an unnecessary position (looking for work while not employed) through no fault of your own.
