The first time I opened this it didn't register/accept any of my clicks. This has happened a few times recently but I don't know if it's my PC or the site that is to blame - any ideas?

The code hasn't changed in any substantive way for many years (and not at all recently) so it is probably your PC. Although it's always possible that browser updates can cause trouble, I'm not aware of that being an issue at the moment.
That said, more generally (and not with puzzlemix) I've found a similar thing with my browser rejecting my key presses for a few seconds after opening too sometimes - it seems that recent Chromium builds (which are the core of most browsers) bring up the UI before they are ready to respond, in an attempt to appear speedier than they actually are.

I had an issue with firefox in the last couple days: Some keys were wrong. typing the a-key, a N appeared. That affected only some keys, not all. And only in 1 tab - in other tabs it was still working correctly...? Weird.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
