Here's one reason:

At my job, we manage remote firewall devices over HTTPS. Since the hostname is custom for each device the SSL certificate is always different. In IE6 and FF2, that's not a problem, and in FF2, the act of logging into the firewall for the first time is so easy I've memorized the keyboard strokes, up twice, enter, up, enter, login screen. In FF3, you have to open up two separate menus, explicitly allow an exemption, go back, log back in, and go from there. And FORGET doing it in IE7.

The time lost from having to upgrade these browsers would be highly detrimental to us. For what we use browsers for on that server, we'd rather stick with FF2.
