I don't use fatrat, but when it is started do you see two white
markers on the left had side of the FF launcher?  If so then click the
FF icon twice and it will put up thumbnails of the two windows for you
to choose the fatrat one.  Alternatively Alt+ ` (normally the key
above tab) switches between multiple windows for an app so this may
work.

Try the above in this case also.
