How can I stop Firefox from launching itself when I wake my computer?

Firefox launches itself with the Twitch log in page, every time I wake up my MacBook Pro. This is not my designated startup page for Firefox. It will often open 15 to 20 different tabs upon waking, all of which are the Twitch log in page. I've looked at the Log in items in system preferences, and there is nothing I see that would be obviously attributable to Twitch. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening, and how to stop it? Thanks.

P.S. I'm using Mac OS x 10.15, with Firefox version 117.0

Did you check your Firefox settings? I do recall on Windows Firefox in the settings locations there is a option to start Firefox when the computer starts. You might have to check the settings to insure it's not checked to run at startup.
