I've always tried to avoid having to call them anything, whether it's by their first names or if it's Mr. ____ or Mrs. ____. Whenever my mom meets my friends she introduces herself as Mindy and not as "her mom". But I've always felt weird calling my friends' parents by their first names. I feel like it's kind of disrespectful. (I mean, you're not supposed to call your teachers by their first names.)
Is it weird for anyone else?

You are right, it is kind of weird and disrespectful. You should always call your friends parents Mr. or Mrs ______. Even if they tell you to call them by their first names.

If it's just me, my friend and her parents I'll call them by their first names. If other adults are around I'll call them Mr/Mrs out of respect.
They seem cool with that.

Yes. So just try avoiding calling them in general.

It's a personal decision. Call them what you want until they correct you.
