The class IS "Firefox".

Doesn't help:

$ grep Firefox ~/.fvwm/config
Style Firefox      EWMHIgnoreStateHints, FixedPPosition, SkipMapping
Style Firefox      PositionPlacement 0p $[_WINDOW_TOP_]p, StartsOnPage 0 0 1
$ FvwmCommand 'Read config'
$ nohup firefox > /dev/null 2>&1 &
$

This still immediately leaves  the current page  and displays page "0 1"
instead, where I can watch Firefox unfolding, and never goes back to the
original page.

Regarding EMWH I found the following in "man fvwm":

       -V | --version
           Prints the version of fvwm to stderr.  Also prints an information
           about the compiled in support for readline, rplay, stroke, xpm,
           png, svg, GNOME hints, EWMH hints, session management,
           bidirectional text, multibyte characters, xinerama and Xft aa font
           rendering.

So I did

$ fvwm -V
fvwm 2.6.5 compiled on Sep 28 2019 at 11:15:46
with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, XRender, XCursor, 
XFT, NLS

$

but without finding any hint regarding EWMH.   So maybe it's not config-
ured in my version  of "fvwm".   But then,  Gentoo doesn't offer any USE
flags for "fvwm" which suggest having to do with EWMH support.

What next?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
