Firefox rejecting xpi v0.8 install as "corrupt"

• Updated xpi link for Firefox users in readme
• Fixed 3 add-on warnings from Mozilla

Background

I went to install the readme-recommended v0.8 xpi recently only to find that Firefox now rejects the xpi install as "corrupt". At this point, not realizing that there was a newer version which I could try installing, it seemed like the 0.8 version needed to be validated still by Mozilla. When submitting the extension to the Mozilla Add-On Validator, I received a couple validation warnings (included below) which I fixed and submitted only to find that the extension had already been submitted. At this point I realized that you had probably updated it already and I returned to the releases section and installed the "Chrome" version. That installed without any issues and appears to be working great.

Summary

I think the fix is to recommend that Firefox users install the newest version, unless you had some reason why you were not doing that before. I updated the link in the readme and I included the validation fixes I had done since you'll probably need to make those changes eventually.
