Zoom App Randomly Opening and Trying to Start a Meeting

I am running Zoom's Window Client V 5.9.7

 

Every Monday I have a standing Zoom meeting with a LARGE client who is, of course, a tech company. The client scheduled the meeting, and it's listed in my Outlook Calendar but not as a scheduled meeting in the Zoom App

 

My Zoom app  randomly opens and tries to join the meeting whenever I open Firefox (my browser).  It tries to connect to that Monday meeting, and sends an message to the meeting host.  The Zoom app is not in my Windows Start menu.

 

What's going on?

My best guess is that you have a tab open in firefox with the link to the meeting, so when you open firefox, it reloads the webpage and tries to join the meeting
