10. The first time that you launch a session from Firefox, the browser will ask which app you want to use.
![Arrow pointing at checkbox and then at Choose Application](../../Resource/Permanent/Screencap/00/0000/000000/00000002/Screencap-238-019_DAFC80F924196807C9F289B3998A1AE66EFE48AC79EC7B96D3299F5C02B8A512.png)
Click on the pre-filled choice "Zoom Meetings", make sure the box next to "Always use..." is checked, and then click "Open Link".
- If you accidentally search for the program and choose the installation file, you will need to use a different browser, or edit Firefox's preferences before Zoom can be launched from it again.

11. Once your host connects to you, you may be prompted to choose how to enable your audio. Click "Join with Computer Audio" to use your computer's microphone and speakers.
- TIP: Check the box next to "Automatically join audio by computer when joining a meeting" before clicking the green "Join with Computer Audio" button to avoid having to confirm this every time.
