I see now, thanks. Each ProxyVM acts as the FirewallVM for whichever VMs use it 
as a NetVM.

When you create an VM, you have the option of making it a ProxyVM. After that, 
you can connect other VMs (even ProxyVMs) to that ProxyVM, making the ProxyVM 
the FirewallVM of the VM. IIRC, the option in Qubes Manager that decides what 
ProxyVM an VM connects to is simply called "NetVM".
In short, there's not really an "one and only FirewallVM" in the system, but 
FirewallVMs that are assigned to each AppVM.
