How to Stay Logged Off of Facebook Chat
In addition to posting on a friend's Facebook "Wall" or sending a message, you can use Facebook's chat feature to socialize with friends and family members online. If you don't want to be bothered while you peruse Facebook, you can also disable the chat feature. After you disable the chat feature, you will appear "offline" to all of your Facebook friends. Facebook will also keep you logged off the chat feature until you enable it.

Chat used to stay offline, but recently it has started turning itself back on every time I start FB, and even when I have FB open but minimized in a browser window; I maximize the browser, and FB chat is back online. Getting frustrated!
