You might could do something based on window-alerts. That would require the program in question to create the alert when something happens, which FireFox would do in the situation.
Otherwise, you could use a hook that triggers whenever a window is opened, have it check whether it's a window you want to focus on, then switch to the group corresponding to that window. This won't work if, in your example, FireFox is already open; then you'll need to rely on window alerts.
