Do you also get switched to tag 2, if you start firefox from a terminal in
tag 1?

Starting an application does normally not cause an _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW event.
Does this switching happen for all applications, or only for firefox?

FWIW, i have similar rules for firefox, and I don't see your switching
behaviour. When I start firefox or any other program with dmenu, all visible
tags and the alternative view stay as they are.
