I find that having a browser window open, using LoadURL, works fine until I engage in some other activity in SL. i.e. swicth the focus to SL. Then, as per normal Windows protocol, the Browser opened with LoadURL disappears behind SL. If you're running Fullscreen, you have to ALT-TAB to retrieve it.
It's all perfectly logical in Windows land. But it severely limits the useful ness of having a LoadURL in the first place, since the window becomes inaccessible should the agent's attention shift to something else, at least if you're running Fullscreen.
Any chance we can have a parameter with LoadURL to keep the newly opened browser window on top?

you can do that fairly simply but not with fullscreen active... fullscreen assumes, nigh demands, that the entire screen is dedicated to the game that called it.. you can switch out and back but that doesn't always work well.
I reccomend running 'windowed' mode but maximized, modern graphics cards there honestly is no slowdown, and it lets you have the taskbar there to switch between windows easily
