Before this question can be answered, you need to show that you have done some research to establish what you can learn about the use of the word. For example, I can find out that the same question has already been asked (xhttps://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/44697/the-first-time-vs-for-the-first-time). If you look at the one answer to this, you can then say whether you are satisfied, giving your reasons.

"first-time" works as an adjective but usage as an adverb is quite unusual.
