Which netscape version do you have?

You can tell fvwm not to give netscape windows the focus
automatically:

  Style Navigator GrabFocusOff, GrabFocusTransientOff

You also can also start new netscape windows below all other
windows, but this is probably a bit inconvenient:

  Style Navigator StartsLowered

If you know the precise name of the annoying windows you could use
that name in the style to limit it to only these windows:

  Style "*The World's FREE Web-based E-mail*" StartsLowered

Does any of this help?

Bye
