Firefox, alas, doesn't have a -geometry option. But it does (albeit
loosely) try to remember its position when it next loads up. There are
a few ways around it to try and coerce it into a fixed position, which
I'll discuss below.

Use the Resource of firefox (Gecko) as a more precise match.

Style Gecko StartsOnPage 1 0, SkipMapping
works for me.
I mentioned earlier about geometries. Using a module called FvwmEvent,
you can get Fvwm to do things when a condition happens. So for example,
you might want to move the firefox window somewhere. Here's what
you could do:
DestroyModuleConfig Event-FF: *
*Event-FF: Cmd Function
*Event-FF: PassId
*Event-FF: new_window MoveFireFox
Whenever a new window is created, fvwm will then call the "MoveFireFox"
function which we can declare as this:
DestroyFunc MoveFireFox
AddToFunc MoveFireFox
+ I Any (CurrentDesk !Iconic !AcceptsFocus) \
ThisWindow ("Gecko") Move 120p +0p
AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent Event-FF
For instance. This would then take FireFox and move it to the location
specified in pixels. Slightly OTT, but it's possible. :)
