These MS510TXM are not L3 routers. Of course, you can configure two or more VLANs. Don't know anything what should be special about your firewall and it's port 1.
Typical cause for loops could be failed attempts to configure LAGs for example.
Appears somehow you managed to create a loop on your network. Impossible to tell based on what you posted.

No, the switches are not L3, but port 2 on the FW is connected to one switch and port 3 to the other switch. The switches are connected via SFP. The traffic from the FW is Trunk VLAN 2 & 3. The SFP link is also Trunk 2 & 3. I would think that MSTP could prevent loops?
