          Would it be possible to indicate the FIR where a waypoint is located? For example if you search for FRANK waypoint it shows two (correct) but knowing which is which (Germany or UK) is not possible without trying. Right now there is a 50% chance of being right.

If you could show FRANK (UK) or FRANK (EGTT) or similar? Showing LatLong is not nearly as good for identing.
This happened on a flight from Italy, over Germany, a direct to FRANK was given. Several minutes of confusion;

Interesting idea. This shouldn't be a problem, because there should be no overlap between airways reporting points in UK and Germany. However, obviously, there is in this case. It's not straightforward for us to do a waypoint -> FIR lookup - well it is, but it's relatively slow - so doing this for each waypoint displayed in the waypoint finder isn't a good solution for us unfortunately.
