That is the point of the manageHook: windows go where they belong, no 
matter when you start them.

So you can either somehow run firefox with a different class (and match to 
that), but I don't know how, without using a function from xlib to do that: 
XSetClassHint(). An it isn't supposed to be used like that.

Or you can scrap the manageHook and let firefox start on the currently 
visible workspace, which is pretty close to what you want anyways?
