 So I must ask:-

 1]  Can someone please tell me why new Firefox tabs don't observe
 the SkipMapping style above.

It does.  SkipMapping has nothing to do with switching focus after the
window has been mapped.

 2]  What else do I need to do to prevent the involuntary switching
 of workspaces in all cases.

You probably want this:

DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
AddToFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
+ I nop

But the FVWM manpage describes SkipMapping like this:

 SkipMapping tells fvwm not to switch to the desk the
 window is on when it gets mapped initially (useful
 with StartsOnDesk or StartsOnPage).

You suggested I use this ...

 DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
 AddToFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
 + I nop

And it works! With the SkipMapping style plus the Nop EWMH function, no
windows that I've tested will switch the desktop. Not even Firefox tabs.
But if I try to remove the SkipMapping style, then all new windows once
again switch the desktop. So the SkipMapping style has to stay.

So yes, I have a solution :-) Thanks for your help.

Right---it uses X11 terminology, the point here being mapped.  This means
appears.

That's why I said you had to do that.  It's almost as if I have you the
answer.  ;)

I never said to do this.  Your confusioon here is because you've decided to
conflate two completely different concepts and treat them the same.  They're
not.

Fair enough. Thanks again for the answer.
