This is more like a follow up of this thread here.

I'm using i3-tiling window manager and I'm trying to figure out if a Firefox instance is running IN A SPECIFIC WORKSPACE or not.

Now,

pgrep -x firefox works flawlessly it really only tells you that if a program is running and not much about where it is running, or in which workspace is it running?

Is there any way for me to do that?

The second column of the command wmctrl -lx indicates the workspace the window is currently on. The -x switch also shows the window class. This provides you all information needed to determine whether one or more windows of a certain application are open in a specific workspace. Note that wmctrl starts counting from 0 to denote the first workspace.
