Why do you think they'll want to work for Mozilla "on the cheap"?

If a competitor fires people with the skills you need, the hiring process gets a lot easier and as such cheaper.

It not necessarily means low wages, but more "easy grab".

"easy grab", exactly. Hiring ex Opera employees who worked on a rendering engine will be cheaper than hiring c++ coders who then have to ramp up knowledge on how to code a rendering engine.
