That's expected behavior. To see triplets we need to explicitly set triplets in trailhead.firstrun.branches to 'control-supercharge'. String value is split by hyphen '-' where the first value ("control" in this case) is used to show the interrupt on about:welcome and the second value ("supercharge") decides triplets.

By default in Firefox trailhead.firstrun.branches value is set to 'join-supercharge' which will show supercharge triplet on new tab.
