However - I find I can only do this in my Mail program. Is there any way in particular to turn on this service so I can use it with Firefox, and/or Word?

I think US speakers would normally use "has" inidicating that the team is a singular entity, while the UK norm would be "have" indicating that the team is a collection of individuals.
