Although Browser Toolbox is getting a lot better, there's a few
issues that make me want to switch back to DOMI now and again (I'll
admit, I haven't got around to looking for or filing bugs for
these):<br>

just switch the toolbox to a different browser window than the
one that's was originally open.</li></ul></div></blockquote><div>There's a button in the toolbar of the browser toolbox that lets you select alternative windows. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><ul>
<li>It has improved, but still isn't brilliant at coping with
opening/closing of windows/sub-browsers. For example, it
frequently doesn't pick up changes properly if we inspect the
Hello conversation window, close it and then re-open it.<br>
</li>
<li>We don't seem to be able to dynamically change user-agent css
- I thought that was possible with DOMI, though I could be wrong
(this is will probably hurt us on Hello soon as we've switched
to a system add-on).<br></li></ul></div></blockquote><div>What specifically do you mean?
