By the way, it is bizarre that they do not mention their death on the website (http://www.matchstick.tv/overview/company-news/ http://www.matchstick.tv/overview/company-news/). On their Kickstarter article, their wording is a bit unclear, but it does seem like they have stopped working on Matchstick (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matchstick/matchstick-the-streaming-stick-built-on-firefox-os/posts/1266549 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matchstick/matchstick-t...).
