Heya,
1. Indeed. If you run firefly like that, it runs in the current SSH session. That is why you have to run “/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start” on linux so it starts as a service in the background of the system, not the SSH session.
Probably another way to fix this is by running firefly in screen (Some multi terminal program which stays running when you disconnect the SSH session)

You should be able to run it as root without the “-f”, and it will fork and detach, and stay running after you log off.

2. Indeed. I believe this is a bug, since my firefly doesnt have this either, but the server seems to be fully functional.

Correct. Bug.
