Improve installation instructions

It turns out you need to restart Firefox twice once Tridactyl
is installed. Presumably it has something to do with the way
we prevent updates from being installed while Tridactyl is
running

## Installing
[Simply click this link in Firefox to install our latest "beta" build][riskyclick]. These [betas][betas] are updated with each commit to master on this repo. Your browser will automatically update from there once a day. If you want more frequent updates, you can change `extensions.update.interval` in `about:config` to whatever time you want, say, 15 minutes (900 seconds). Alternatively, you can get our "stable" builds straight from the Arch Linux community repository: Arch users should just run `pacman -S firefox-tridactyl` in a terminal and then restart Firefox; everyone else can install manually from [an Arch mirror here](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/firefox-tridactyl/download/): extract the XPI from that archive and then open it with Firefox. The changelog for the stable versions can be found [here](https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). There is also another beta build that comes without a new tab page. You can get it from [here][nonewtablink]. If you want to use advanced features such as edit-in-Vim, you'll also need to install the native messenger or executable, instructions for which can be found by typing `:installnative` and hitting enter once you are in Tridactyl. Arch users can install the [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-tridactyl-native/) `firefox-tridactyl-native` instead. To migrate your configuration across builds, see [this comment][migratelink] or [this issue](https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/1353#issuecomment-463094704).
