 ## Getting started
 *If you don't have it already: [Get Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release)*
 
 1) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/main/user.js) (Right click > `Save Link As…`).
-2) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press `Enter`.
+2) Review [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and make any necessary changes.
-3) For the profile you want to use (or default), click `Open Folder` in the **Root Directory** section.
+3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press `Enter`.
-4) Close Firefox. With the folder open, move the `user.js` file into the folder.
+4) For the profile you want to use (or use default), click `Open Folder` in the **Root Directory** section.
+5) Move the `user.js` file into the folder.
 
 *After restarting Firefox:*
 1) Get an **ad blocker** like [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) with our [recommended filters](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists#guidelines). For a simple solution, use [Ghostery](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/).
 3) Enable **DNS-level protection** with [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5), and check out our configuration [guide](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config).
     * See how to [quickly enable](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https) **secure DNS** in Firefox.
