Bah I misunderstood your question.
In scenario 1, I'd give it to Firelord 6/10. Superman can win some, it's just that Firelord will take the majority. Firelord's ability to drain/manipulate energy over the entire EM spectrum (guess what red sun radiation falls under and yes he'd sense it with his "Cosmic Senses"😉, the fact that his "fire" isn't really solar at all but (quoting Surfer) "the product of Galactus' alien science" (meaning his blasts won't empower Superman in any way) and the fact that the Power Cosmic is just too versatile (PIS off).

so you're basically saying "cosmic awareness" + "power cosmic" = win?

And his ability to go toe to toe with legit Cl100 beings, yes. His durability +cosmic senses + power cosmic (and his total control over stellar energies). This is basically his fight to lose.
"total control over stellar energies"
elaborate please.
we'll leave the cosmic awareness out for now, cos i know we're not going to agree on that, so no point lol

There's scans in his respect thread of him using that ability 2 or 3 times. So it's a legit power. His cosmic senses that is.
Leaving aside the power cosmic, he's the humanoid equivalent to a small star (heat, light, radio waves, EM spectrum of energies, gravity). He's not just some "cosmic" version of the Human Torch. On panel Silver Surfer stated that Firelord's "fire" isn't even stellar in origin but "a product of Galactus' alien science". Add to that, Firelord also has energy drain/absorption feats on panel.

I was asking more about what it was, than whether he had used it much. 😛
Energy draining is all well and good, but Superman recharges awfully quickly. Can he block him from the sun? Would he realistically do it in a fight?

The thing is, Superman is unique amongst bricks in that he's basically a walking plant. Getting his power from solar energy and being weak vs a specific spectrum of energy (red sun radiation). In the fights Firelord has been in with bricks and others, he's never needed to do anything other than blast/dodge/use his staff.
Against an opponent like Superman, Firelord would truly shine. Energy draining, red sun radiation blasts or even better, surround himself with a HUGE aura of red sun radiation or power cosmic "fire" like he did vs the Silver Surfer that caused the Surfer to flee outside the aura.
Superman is a dream opponent for Firelord.
