I just landed bug 1208138 which hides first run when you open settings (as well as when any web pages are loaded), so it should no longer be possible to reach this state. I also tried repro-ing this by clicking on the "data notification" that we show the first time a user starts up Firefox and opening a "learn more" link, but this path is no longer a problem.

Thanks for filing, Teodora! Please reopen if you find you can still repro this even with the new changes.
