I'm not sure what you believe it costs to employ all the engineers that Mozilla has whom are busy constantly...
- fixing bugs (while trying to ensure each fix doesn't cause new breakage)
- implementing new specs (which are constantly evolving)
- doing R&D on next-generation browser-tech (Rust, Servo)
.. but its not 'little'.
Then there's the fact that merely tossing more people at it doesn't mean things get done faster.
You'll see some large improvements in Firefox as techniques tested in Servo are integrated into Firefox.
Course, the Firefox Platform team is hiring (https://careers.mozilla.org/listings/?team=Engineering), so feel free to apply and get paid to work on Firefox. :)
