  The cost of one refresh no, the cost of a dozen refresh and the associated context switches as you swap between your browser and your editor yes. Usually when you're editing stuff in Firebug it's because you're trying, nudging a pixel here, a shade of gray there, trying to get the "right" values to yield the effect you want. Having to go back to the editor is a pain, just as it was before in-browser debuggers, when you had to go back to the editor and add alert() traces all over it.
