Ah, I think I know what you mean. When a mozilla popup window
like the download dialog is opened, fvwm puts it on the same desk
as the main mozilla window (which is correct) and then switches to
that desk (which you don't like). This is because the popup
dialog has the window group hint set. To disable this behaviour
you can use the SkipMapping style:

  Style mozilla* SkipMapping
