Create new firefox profile and use it simply for development purposes. Don't lose your default history and cache. Whenever developing use the dev profile. Simple eh ?

Instruct the profile manager to prompt you for the browser profile every time you start Firefox. Then choose the dev profile at prompt. Install the webdev addons in it (Firebug, etc.).

I don't get you. What are you trying to say ?

FIREFOX DOESNT INSTANTLY REFRESH. i fricken upload to whatever site, then i go and the changes are made even after i do the clear all data and stuff. the dev addons just are like a built in button to to do the same thing. clear data.

but it doesnt do it fast enough. especially with stylesheets

If this doesn't help then I don't know more about this. Ask on mozilla mailing list. They can help you more.
