Yes, but it doesn't save them.

You hit refresh and those changes are gone.

I see the value of this for alot of one-person development shops or front-end devs that do a lot of client design work.

Your client calls you, "Hey, this thingy here isn't lining up right"

"click. click. publish"

"refresh the page"

"ohhh....how did you do that?" (Client amazed)

If you push in the "Stick" button, changes are not lost if you refresh. It does also have a save button, but yes, you still need to upload the change. (Even though I tend to copy/paste instead of using this.)

But, this is---for me---a one time thing, after I've made all the changes I want and things look great. It makes the CTRL-S, Alt-Tab, Reload procedure that was originally described only need to happen once, instead of lots of times in rapid succession.

This is actually the only thing I keep the webdev tools addon around for now, everything else I used to use it for is either in firebug or I've found other implementations for (eg W3C checks I use unicorn first which I have a saved search "key" for).
