This is a Unity question, not FF.  I am enquiring as to the best way
to switch between windows within one app using Unity.  This was with
respect to Alan's point that one could just select the other window
rather than sliding the front one aside.  With the classic interface
one could do this via the bottom panel (one click).  With Unity, to
switch between open apps one can click the button on the launcher but
I have not found a quick way to switch between multiple windows open
for one app.  Generally I like Unity, though it is essential I think
to learn the hot keys, but the multiple-windows-for-one-app problem is
one that I am having trouble with.
