 There is a tricky qualification on this, which is that applications
can supply a range of sizes for their icons and Fvwm has a hard-coded
default and maximum size it will use. I'm not sure if this default size
has changed over time, but if it has, this is one of the potential causes.
It's also possible that Firefox is now offering bigger icons and fvwm is
picking them now that they're available.

(I ran into this when I switched to a HiDPI display and started looking
at why fvwm was now only using tiny icons even when various programs had
larger ones available.)

 Interested parties can look at the various #define's related to
icon size in fvwm/ewmh_icons.c in the source code. Unfortunately I
don't think there's a way to set these in your fvwmrc, although
maybe I overlooked some icon size settings in the manual page.
