I had no idea what first move to make in the 960 position, so I was thinking hard about it and I didn't realize the game aborts like regular chess when you take too long to make a first move. This should be disabled for 960, because some of these positions are too weird.

Agree. The whole point of 960 is to think from move one. The problem has been raised many times without any reaction.

I think white should get a maximum of 20 seconds to play the first 960 move before the game clock starts ticking.
