First-connection checklist

Before installation, check requirements, file origin and whether the download completed. During installation, read permission prompts instead of disabling system protections without understanding the problem.

After connecting, test an ordinary site and your intended page separately. For a report, record the client version, time and complete error. Interfaces and button names vary; follow the current client prompts.
