With TDataset based components (TIBOQuery) you call Open and First to make
sure it is opened and on the First record. Perfectly legitimate.

It's when you are using the TIB_Cursor that calling First will actually
close and re-open the query to make absolute sure it is on the first record.
This is due to the unidirectional nature.
