Hi Andras,

I've been seeing exactly the same firefox issue on my amd64
system. After a few days of trying to track it down (trying a
combination of window managers and chroot setups), it seems that
upstream have already fixed it along with some other 64-bit issues.

I'm now running a backported amd64 version of fvwm 2.5.14 with an i386
chrooted firefox here, and all works fine.
