i am using Netbeans PHP + Firefox 4 on Windows for my web development.

I’ve used a common firebug extension called Xrefresh. It was automaticlly refreshing my opened firefox tab everytime change in my projects directory occured, so pressing ctrl+s in netbeans was triggering auto-refresh in the browser. Very comfort way to work with css, almost live preview.

But now since new Firefox and Firebug versions Xrefresh doesn’t work anymore and the question is – are therey any good alternatives, or does someone know how to configure Xrefresh now?
Without live preview my development is somehow slower.

    There’s an automatic refresh-on-change tool for IE. It’s called ReloadIt, and is available at http://reloadit.codeplex.com . Free.

    Not an add-on to IE, but more of an “adjunct”. It does not change the IE install, does not install a BHO or anything like that. So very low-impact installation.

    You choose a URL that you’d like to auto-reload, and specify one or more directory paths to monitor for changes. Press F12 to start monitoring.

    After you set it, minimize it. Then edit your content files. When you save, the page gets reloaded. like this:
