Device: Galaxy Nexus 
OS: Android 4.3
Build: Nightly 01/31

Steps: 
1. Go to settings - Accounts - Add new Firefox Account
2. In the screen Get started - tap on the link Using an older version of Sync?
3. After reading - Go to home or put app in the background
4. Go to the Settings Sync again 

Expected results:

Cannot reproduce. (Tried Home, app switcher, and Back to return to "Get started").

Cannot reproduce, but this activity won't be visible after Bug 966174.

I am able to reproduce this - I did try on second screen after having configured a new account. 
It is harder to get it - I remember on Friday was all the time at a first time. Now I get the non linked text after trying twice the switch open link - go to settings

Additional steps:
Go to settings - Accounts - Firefox - Configure Sync

Wow, that's a strange one.  Thanks for the video, we'll have to look into it.  Clearly something with our onCreate/onResume flow is off, I just can't think for the life of me what!

Pls. renom for tracking if this becomes a major issue. We want to fix this, but won't block Fx29/Fx30.

This is no longer valid since the native Firefox Accounts UI has been removed from Fennec: Bug 1220892.
