There are now so many ways to switch between windows of an application, this
bug no longer applies.
* quicklists using right-click on the launcher
* alt-tab and alt-key-above-tab using the keyboard
* super-number keypresses cycle through windows (as suggested in this bug)
I'd say this old bug has been fixed and the fix released long ago.
Updating the paperwork to match reality.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: unity
Switching between the main Firefox window, its download manager
window, and any permitted pop-ups is a pain when using the mouse.
The same applies to instances of Nautilus or the terminal. By the end
of the day, I can 5 or more open instances of each that I never
bothered to close or simply forgot about.
Super hotkeys only bring up the expo of open windows.
Multiple Super+Num keypresses or mouse clicks should cycle through
multiple windows of an open application.
