When I click on help->about, it says 1.2b.

But, the problem isn't Mozilla, or FvwmPager.

When fvwm executes a Scroll command, (which is what the pager
generates), it's sending ConfigureNotify to windows that aren't
visible. (When the window becomes actually visible it gets
VisibilityNotify and Expose.)

I don't think it should be doing the ConfigureNotify.
