With Marionette switching frames itself when other frames close it would be useful to be able to have a property that gives us the html element for the current iframe that Marionette is attached to.

This property would also be useful in abstracted methods in our framework where we could get the current frame and save its reference while we switch to the top level/system frame temporarily.
NB get_active_element() does not always return the current frame.
I've found another case for when this would be useful. Switching to the top frame to dismiss the keyboard via the mozKeyboard API and then switching back to the previous context. Rather than trying to work out the 'current' frame could we just store a reference for the last target of switch_to_frame?
Yes we would really like this if it's not a hard patch to do!

Dave I think that reference could go stale as there are some cases where a frame is killed by Gaia and Marionette has to attach itself to the next one to stay alive. Killing the call screen for example.
But in principal storing the current one when Marionette switches to it (not necessarily by switch_to_frame) seems sound to me.
Yes, I don't think it would be hard to add that.  I'll take a look at this next week.

This works for every case except chrome, I think. Here's the script I've been using for testing with it:

Looks good!  Nice and clean.  Eventually a test (for at least the local case) would be nice.

Don't we want to return an HTMLElement object, not just a uid?

  return HTMLElement(self, response)

This works for the chrome case as well.

I added unit tests for this, and split out the chrome switching tests into their own file (so we can run the standard frame switching stuff on firefoxos)

Since we're not calling wrapValue any longer, this actually is just a uid, so maybe this variable should be something like 'frameUid'.
