Firefox displays the restart required notification if "firefox startup time" is before the "firefox upgrade time"; the upgrade time is determined by mtime of the /var/lib/update-notifier/firefox*restart-required file created during upgrade. So when your clock is in future during upgrade then you fix your time and restart firefox, the "firefox startup time" will be always before the last modified time of /var/lib/update-notifier/firefox*restart-required. So it would be expected to display that restart notification and there is not much we can do about it. However, for you this issue persists after reboot, which imo could be dealt with by teaching update-notifier to delete all files in /var/lib/update-notifier/firefox*restart-required.
