But even if it were there, it's probably not a Firefox problem. It's probably RHP not complying to W3C web standards. 99% of the time when Firefox displays incorrectly, it's because of the site designer not doing it right.
Removing check and mating with the same move, nice ! But your user name is so long that your star is sticking out of box for user name into the post. I never saw THAT in my RHP practice too. 😲

Anyway, that's a pretty mate.

on some chess servers (like FICS for example) he could have stopped moving on mate in 1 and wait until his time run out and he gets a draw automatically because you have insuficient material to mate 🙂

If he had not made that simple mistake (which presumably was his try for a win which was never there) then the worst case scenario would be a draw.
There is some important lessons here
(1) Unless you are sure your opponent knows how to win, don't resign. White could have been tempted to do so believing he could not win with a lone Knight and thinking the Ps would become Qs;
(2) It is better to take a draw when you are slightly up if you don't know how to win (black could have done this at any time rather than head towards a1); and
(3)This game has in fact been a book draw since, at least, move 50. In fact I cannot find any forced way for black to win after the exchange of Queens. So its important to know when a game is a draw and how to take it.
