It looks like EWMH full screen support works fine in fvwm-2.5.9,
but mozilla and firebird do not use it for some reason.  If they
did, fvwm would set the _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN property.  That
explains why you still have borders on the browser windows.

In the past, fvwm did not announce that it supports the
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN protocol, but that is fixed in 2.5.9
(and 2.5.8, I think).

All I have is a wild guess:  maybe mozilla/firebird remember that
the WM does not support _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN and does not try
to use it.  Try to kill all running instances of the browsers,
then move their config directiories and restart them with an
empty config.
