I believe this is not a real-world military term, but rather one invented for the boardgame Advanced Squad Leader. It is "final" because it is the last fire allowed in a turn by the firing unit (although, oddly enough, a unit can "final" fire multiple times).

No no no, final protective fire IS a real world military term, ask any infantryman or gunner. When 'request final protective fire, at grid xxxxxxxxxx, fire for effect' comes over the net, you know the excretement is really going to hit the fan. Pretty much the last action one can do before one is overrun with hoards of enemy. If FPF fails to slay the enemy, then hand to hand combat ensues, usually with some messy results.
