Only restarting fvwm resolves the problem.
This is, AFAICT, not FVWM related, as I have experienced the same with metacity (Gnome) and IIRC also with wmi. Often changing focus using alt+tab works here to get a correct focus. I think that Mozilla tries to keep track of the currently focussed window itself and has some bug there, as I sometimes even get a bookmark opened in the wrong window, although it was selected from the bookmark menu.
