How do I switch to another window in Firefox for Mac?

I often have multiple Firefox windows open. Does Firefox or Mac OS X provide a way to switch among windows?

Normally I can switch from one window to another by Command-Tab, but when I have multiple Windows open for one application (such as Firefox), I only see the Firefox icon once, and so I only have the option to open one of the windows.

(In Windows XP, the corresponding operation (Alt-Tab) shows the multiple Firefox windows separately. But under OS X I see only one.)

Thanks for any help.

Try Command+` (that is the back tick and is the same key as the ~ tilde, just above the tab key).
