Managed to reproduce the part of the issue where the onboarding page is not displayed on an Android 13 device (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra).
Tested on both the latest Beta (119.0b3) and on the latest Nightly (120.0a1).

This issue still reproduces on Firefox Nightly 125 (2924-03-11), Firefox Beta 124.0b9 and Firefox Release 123.1.0. The onboarding pages are not displayed using a Google Pixel 7 with Android 14.

This issue is also reproducible with OPPO A15s (Android 10) in Beta 132.0b3. The onboarding is skipped after using the search widget.
