🟥 Summary: **We do not need one**

🟪 APPLY
If you are not using a new profile, we recommend running our [cleanup script](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/tree/master/scratchpad-scripts), the instructions are in the file
🔹 Put all the relevant files into the root folder of your profile <sup>[1]</sup>
- `prefsCleaner`
- `updater`
- `user.js`
- `user-overrides.js` (which you created)
Continue with the UPDATE part below
[1] To find your profile, open `about:support` and look for `Profile Folder` under `Application Basics`
🟪 UPDATE
- 🔹 run the updater
- so the contents of your `user-overrides.js` is appended to the `user.js`
- 🔹 ALWAYS run prefsCleaner
- make sure Firefox is closed
- this will reset prefs that aren't needed or can cause issues, as well as keep things clean and tidy
- you can read more about prefsCleaner next
🟪 MAINTAIN
Starting with v97, arkenfox changes to the live master will happen once per release: all changes will be done in a separate branch and only merged when finished. I cannot guarantee when I will release each one - hopefully within a week of the Firefox release. Virtually nothing changes these days that will affect you in that time delay.
So ... once a release ... check for the latest [changelog](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+label%3Achangelog), run the updater, and run prefsCleaner (with Firefox closed)
