README didn't explain that one has to run edit-server-start #170

Took me 20 minutes to figure this out, that once a user installed edit-server, he needs to:

  1. launch emacs outside of Firefox.
  2. run M-x edit-server-start
  3. Click the plugin icon in Firefox while focused in a <textarea>, which would launch a terminal and run emacs in it.

This issue requests that the word edit-server-start to exist in READM.md thanks!
