I seriously doubt it will be stronger than jho, flagships have a tendency to only be 5*, with the exception of kusha and most frontier monsters, while jho was made to be a challenge (Firex certanly LOOKS stronger than jho though), but if the two were to fight, jho would win (Jho isn't weak to fire, and Firex is most likely weak to dragon, like most flagships)
