I think you made a rather basic maths error, it's 375k per employee.
Firefox still gets an enormous amount of development effort. I think people don't notice because Chrome likely just gets an order of magnitude more.
Xiph is independent but I believe Mozilla employs all the core developers. They're currently working on doing for video codecs what Opus did for audio.

That being said, I'm not actually that well informed about Chrome's development, so it could also be that I've simply missed some of their development plans...
