After firstOrNew you will need to call save() manually to persist it. More information you can find here.

difference between updateOrCreate and firstOrNew
Hello, I would like to know the difference between updateOrCreate and firstOrNew
Level 73
The main difference is that updateOrCreate will update if the record exists otherwise it will create it while firstOrNew will try to get the record and if it does not exists create it.
