At least 300 people worked on Firefox OS and everyone else in the technical organization was "on call". Our mobile browser team was in the single digits. Don't get me wrong, I loved Firefox OS. I worked on it and desperately wanted it to succeed. It was not a cheap failure.

Are you including servo, which says it has been entirely repurposed as an MR vehicle?

So probably at least $5MM (including salary, benefits, and accounting/operations) and growing.

That's assuming $150k per engineer all-in, which seems lowball to me.

Salary varies a lot by location, not every one is in the bay area

It was a guess about average salary, but there's also stuff like taxes that quickly add up. But yes, just a guess.
