Is it possible to float the ScratchPad window?

I use Firefox when introducing students to concepts in JavaScript, and find the interaction helps students to get ideas quickly. I normally use the console for that.

As much as I like the Scratchpad window, I find it hard to work with when the window disappears behind the main window.

This is what happens if I run something like alert('hello'): when I respond to the alert, the Scratchpad window disappears behind the main window.

Is there a way to keep the Scratchpad window on top?

You likely will have to resize the main Firefox window and place the Scratchpad next to the main window to have them both visible. That is how I would normally deal with such focus issues.
