Many people access content through work, and not all of them can install Firefox. I was one of the lucky ones who figured out how to install an alternative browser, but there are many others that aren't web/computer savvy who won't know how to install something different on their machine (many of us have to enable something, logout, log back in, install, etc).

It's just not uninformed users who use IE6. I was one of those for awhile (at work, anyway), until I figured out how to install Firefox.
