So use ThisWindow in place of Current, and use the window's class name,
not the example you have above. If you're unsure what the class name
of Firefox is, use FvwmIdent, or xprop, etc.
Given that I too have that function defined, I fail to see why your
version of Firefox is causing it to be run, whereas mine is not,
despite the fact that we both have the same versions. I suppose YMMV.
