To begin, start Steam and click on the games tab. Then click on the "Add non-Steam game" button.

Wait for the program list to populate. Then scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)" and check mark it. Click the "Add selected programs" Button.

Right-click on the "Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)" shortcut in the Steam games menu and choose properties.

The following screen will appear:

Change the shortcut name to "Battlefield Heroes". After the quote in "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" add the following:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://play.battlefield-heroes.com

Optional: Click on the choose icon button and navigate to:

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield Heroes\

and choose BFHeroes.exe and press the "open" button.

Your properties screen should now look like this.
When verified, hit close.

And your games tab in Steam should now look like this.

Double click on the Battlefield Heroes shortcut you created in Steam and it should launch your Firefox web browser. It will take you to the Battlefield Heroes website. Log in and hit "Play now".

If all has gone well you will see the Steam community overlay in-game.

NOTE: Make sure that Firefox is not already open! Steam must be the program to initially spawn firefox. Otherwise, it will not work and it will only open a new tab in Firefox.

Enjoy!
