Enhance description with instructions for use

Thanks for your effort on this add-on. I have some minor issues with it:

I had trouble understanding how to use it and so had to search for the answer. I found an answer on a comment on stack exchange at:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138639/how-to-use-curl-commandline-to-download-a-file-for-which-the-link-is-hiddenact#comment223065_138639

I suggesting adding some similar verbiage to the description that shows up under the Add-ons Manager within Firefox.

Also, the existing instructions have a slight misspelling at "purcahsed" below which should be "purchased":

Download protected files using curl or wget. This addon will generate curl/wget commands that emulate the request as though it's coming from your browser by sending the same cookies, user agent string and referrer. With this addon you can download email attachments, purcahsed software/media, source code from a private repository to a remote server without having to download the files locally first. This addon should work with any website; if you find a website that cliget doesn't work well with, please let me know.

Thanks!

I'd like to second this suggestion. Just something simple to get the unfamiliar user started.
