Hi debbru,
We see Facebook Messenger starts up automatically when logging into your Mac.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups. Then under the "Login Items" tab, check for Facebook Messenger.
If you see it there, click on Facebook Messenger to highlight it and then click the "-" symbol to remove it. After that the app should only open when you manually open it.
Take a look at the following article for more info:
Take care.
