Firstly is acceptable now. In the past 'first' was the only acceptable noun and I personally think it sounds better, but both are correct.

Previous post: "'first' was the only acceptable noun"

I disagree. "First" as a noun was never in dispute. But as an adverb it always has been, and still is, incorrect.
