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
