Are there any add-ons that will cause a browser to automatically refresh a page when a particular file changes on disk?

@Andy Sure, I have some unit tests that display their results as an HTML page, and my browser displays them. I want the page to automatically refresh when regenerate the html page that displays the results of the test.– leeand00Jun 4, 2010 at 21:40

I personally use a plugin-for-a-plugin to do this. In particular this auto-reload plugin which works with the Vimperator plugin for Firefox.
There's also this plugin directly for Firefox, but I've never tried it personally.

Sweet! I'll have to give that a try. I use Vim but I haven't really gotten used to Vimperator for Mozilla, maybe I'll have to do that.– leeand00Sep 15, 2010 at 14:43
As far as I know there are no extensions/functionalities in Chrome to do exactly what you want. But there are options to reload the file with set intervals.
For example ChromeReload or Auto-Reloader are 2 good examples of such extensions. You can configure the interval to your liking in both.
Tincr is a Chrome extension that does what you need.
