Description:
In FVWM I define Styles acording to the class name of the window.
Every time firefox version has a new codename it messes up my Style definitions.
And it confuses me with the windowlist also.
And I am forced to edit my style definitions.

For me it is still "firefox" and i am not interested in the name game of the firefox developers.
Is that possible?

thank you

This is an issue because of the patches added by Arch. If you add patches to firefox, you have to use the code name (licence issue). But if I look at the patches, they seem not important, thus perhaps they can be dropped?
