[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Nightly 76.0a1 - Build ID: 20200326213652

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10 x64
• Mac 10.15.4
• Ubuntu 18.04 x64

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a new Firefox profile.
• Have a valid FxA account.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites and navigate to the "about:welcome" page.
2. Click the "Sign Up for Alerts" button from the "Stay Alert to Data Breaches" card.
3. Click the "Sign In" button from the top-right part of the page.
4. Log in with the account from prerequisites and open a new tab.
5. Observe the triplets displayed in the top part of the page.

[Expected result]:

• The "Take Your Settings with You", "Browse Privately" and "Instantly Send Yourself Tabs" cards are displayed.

[Actual result]:

• The "Stay Alert to Data Breaches" card is still displayed.

[Regression Window]:

• Considering the fact that this issue is not reproducible with the old version of the "about:welcome" page, using the mozregression tool I have managed to find the following regression:

From the above pushlog, bug 1622474 seems that caused this behavior.

[Notes]:

• This issue is also reproducible if a new FxA account is created instead of logging in with an existing one.
• This issue is not reproducible if the "Stay Alert to Data Breaches" card is accessed from the "about:newtab" page.
• Attached a screen recording of the issue.
