What makes me confused is that I use
FvwmDebug -l log -d 4
but only got one related to my firefox which is
[FvwmDebug]: got M_RAISE_WINDOW
M_RAISE_WINDOW
        win_id 0x1a00030
        frame_id 0x0621b49
        ptr 137196848
I haven't seen any like Destroy_Window niether Add_New_Window.
Did I misuse the FvwmDebug?

I use Gentoo and build them from source. This is what gentoo's package
tool emerge shows me
[ebuild R ] x11-wm/fvwm-2.5.10-r3 -bidi -debug -gnome +gtk +gtk2
+imlib +ncurses +nls -nosm -noxpm +perl +png +readline -rplay -stroke
