Here's another article, in French but not behind a paywall. It is also based on the Figaro (paywall) article:
Crash d'Egyptair: un pilote aurait tenté d'éteindre un incendie à bord
There's a piece of this article that I cannot quite catch using Google translate. It seems to be saying something about when the FDR stopped recording. Perhaps someone fluent in French can provide a translation. Is it suggesting that the CVR recorded longer that the FDR? Or is it suggesting that both recorders stopped well before the impact? Or something else?

Pour l'instant, la nature et les causes du départ de feu n'ont pas pu être déterminées. Selon Le Figaro, ces nouveaux éléments attestent en revanche que le feu n'est pas responsable de l'interruption brutale de l'enregistrement de la première boîte noire. L'appareil aurait continué a voler pendant trois à quatre minutes après la coupure du FDR, avant de s'écraser.
