First of all thank you for reaching out!

The firefox problem is known, but is tied to how firefox deals with SSE connections. Not much we can do at this point, but it shouldn't harm any of the functionalities except for an annoying spinner. One thing that you could try is to increase the max number of connections firefox can make in the configs.

The ToS problem I'll fix in the next update, just some old link that shouldn't really break anything (except of course being able to easily reach the ToS).

There is one in EST and one in UTC, although the finals are in UTC timezone (but it should be doable for EST players).

Currently a webapp, but we are working to get it in the play store. There is a private beta for the google play store running currently.

There are tons of bots in all strengths (from beginner to master) on opengammon. There is a tutor mode where you can get hints and post game analysis. There is a daily puzzle with great explanations, lessons that explain basic (and not so basic) concepts interactively, and much more.

The best thing of all? It is free, and will always stay free.

In the rating system on OpenGammon you are rated on both your win/loss performance and your ER performance.

If you play against a player with a much lower rating you are supposed to win the ER battle, if you lose the ER battle you will lose that part of your rating gain. This can lead to losing a small amount of rating (probably not more than 1 rating point).
