To me, "onboarding" is the overarching experience of introducing a user to
the product and "first run" is just one vector with which to do that.
"First run" in our context currently refers to the slides that show only
the first time you run Fennec.

Onboarding is a continuing experience – we can introduce features to the
user that they may not have seen before (e.g. if the user hasn't pressed
the tabs tray button after seeing it 100 times, maybe we can display a
tooltip – a "contextual hint" in our context – to introduce the user).

It's important to note that the each part of the onboarding experience
shouldn't stand on its own. For example, we can do the tabs tray tooltip or
we can do a tabs tray first run slide, but should we do both? How might
that affect the user? Will they be annoyed?

When we add features to onboarding, we should look at what's already there
and how we may need to alter it to provide the best experience.

My ideas of onboarding are still developing and I'm not the primary thinker
behind onboarding so I'm not sure it's worth a wiki page that will quickly
get out-of-date, but I'll keep it in mind – thanks.
