During the login process on my laptop I want to fire up Firefox using

wait for Firefox loading all its tabs.
I ceased using Firefox long ago (now using Palemoon) but I guess what I do
is so similar for all browsers and was what I did in the past with FF.
The only point is do you really mean "page" or "desktop" ? I have 7
desktops each one usually of one page (I can toggle to 2 or 4 pages to
extend off screen but I rarely do that). All browsers should go to the
second desktop (number 1, named "web") while the first one (number 0,
named "mail") is the one where I usually login.
I have this (actually also a vestigial FF line)
Style "Pale Moon" StartsOnDesk 1, SkipMapping, NoPPosition
Style Firefox StartsOnDesk 1, SkipMapping, NoPPosition
and in my StartFunction
+ "I" Test (Init) Exec exec /usr/bin/palemoon myhomepage
I have also a (vestigial ?) efent handler which I used to force the
browser to a fixed non-default window size, but I guess it does not matter
anymore. You could get my present (and some past) .fvwmrc from

3. What happens: Firefox is starting in its own page, but this page is
also the one shown on the screen rather than the page containing my
terminal wind- ow.
I noticed a funny behaviour sporadically when starting libreoffice (with a
slow splash screen) and changing desks while it is coming up. libreoffice
may come up in the wrong desktop.
